Chorus: Irmos: I cried out with all my heart/ to the generous God,/ and heard me from hell,// and raised my life from aphids.
Chorus: Have mercy on me, God, have mercy on me. (for each troparion)
I bring tears to my Savior,/ and from the depths of my sighs/ I bring them pure, crying out to my heart:/ God, I have sinned/ cleanse me.
Thou soul has strayed from thy Lord,/ like Dathan and Aviron:/ but have mercy, call from the underworld,// lest the earthly abyss cover thee.
Like a young soul enraged,/ you became like Ephraim,/ like a chamois, preserving your life from the snares,// having fixed your mind and sight in action.
May the hand of Moses assure our souls that God can whiten and cleanse the life of a leper:/ and do not despair of yourself, // even though you are a leper.
The waves of the Savior of my sins/ like the Black Sea returning to the sea,/ covering me suddenly,// like the Egyptians sometimes, and three hundred.
You had an unreasonable will for your soul, / like Israel before: / You ordained the divine manna wordlessly, / / lustful gluttony of passions.
Dear souls, you preferred Canaanite thoughts,/ rather than veins of stone,/ from which the river flows like a cup, compared to wisdom, // sheds the currents of theology.
Pork meat and cauldrons, and Egyptian food,/ Thou hast ordained my soul above all things in heaven,// Like the foolish people of old in the desert.
As Moses struck Thy servant/ with a rod the stone,/ Thy life-giving ribs symbolized,/ from below all// the drink of life of the Savior, let us draw.
Test your soul and see, like Joshua/ the promises of the land as it is, // and indwell it with goodness.
Arise and conquer, / like Jesus Amalek, carnal passions, / and the Gibeonites, flattering thoughts // ever victorious.
Pass over the present nature of time, / as the ark was first, / and the earth thereof, be in possession of the promise of the soul, / / God commands.
For Thou didst save Peter, who cried out/save, having preceded me as Saviour/from the beast, and having stretched out Thy hand//and brought me up from the depths of sin.
We are your comforting haven,/ Master, Master Christ,/ but from the unquenchable depths of sin and despair// delivered me beforehand.
I am, Savior, / you have already destroyed the ancient royal coin, / but you have burned the lamp of the Forerunner of Your Word, // seek and find Your image.
Chorus: Reverend Mother Mary, pray to God for us.
Mary: May you extinguish the flame of passions,/ you may shed drops of tears to Mary,/ your soul is inflamed,/ and grant grace to me,// your servant.
Chorus: Reverend Mother Mary, pray to God for us.
Mary: You have acquired heavenly dispassion,/ through your mother’s extreme life on earth./ Moreover, those who sing to you,/ will be freed from passions// by your prayers, praying.
Chorus: Reverend Father Andrew, pray to God for us.
To Andrew: I am the shepherd of Crete, and the leader,/ and the leader of the prayer book of the universe,/ I come to Andre, and cry out to you, Father, for me, from the depths of sin.
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Trinity: The Trinity is simple, indivisible, / separate from the Personality, / and the Unit is united by Nature, / / the Father speaks, and the Son, and the Divine Spirit.
And now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Theotokos: Thy womb of God gave birth to us,/ imagined for us:/ Him, as the Creator of all, pray to the Mother of God,// that through Thy prayers we may be justified.
