Irmos: Lying in the abyss of sin, I invoke the abyss of Thy unfathomable mercy: from aphids, O God, lift me up.
Rest, O Lord, the soul of Your departed servant.
Having created man from the earth, O God, and having now returned to the earth, have mercy, O Lord, who in foolishness crushed his meager vessel: for you are able, O Master of Creation, to restore him again from corruption.
Rest, O Lord, the soul of Your departed servant.
Ineffable and incomprehensible, Lord, with the bounty of Thy unspeakable love for mankind, have mercy on the belly of the deceased, despising his sins, even those committed in knowledge and ignorance.
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Be illumined by Thy mercy, O Master, and freely leave (name) your life and lead him to Thy light, taking him out of the unilluminated darkness, for the sake of mercy.
And now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
To the deliverer of those who earnestly call upon Thee, Most Pure Lady, beg Thy Son to show mercy to the deceased (name): Thou hast given birth to the Lord of life and death.
