Irmos: The dew-bearing furnace / was made by an Angel / like a venerable youth, / the Chaldeans were scorching / the command of God, / the tormentor exhorted to cry out: / Blessed are you, God our father.

Have mercy on me, God, have mercy on me.

Do not trust, my soul, / in corruptible wealth and in unrighteous gatherings, / for you will not leave all this to anyone, but cry: / have mercy on me, O Christ God, who is unworthy.

Have mercy on me, God, have mercy on me.

Do not trust, my soul, in bodily health / and in fleeting beauty, / for you see how the strong and the young die; but cry: / have mercy on me, O Christ God, who is unworthy.

Have mercy on me, God, have mercy on me.

Remember, my soul, eternal life, / the Kingdom of Heaven, prepared for the saints, / and the pitch darkness and the wrath of God for the wicked, and cry: / have mercy on me, O Christ God, who is unworthy.

Most Holy Theotokos, save us.

Theotokos: Fall, my soul, to the Mother of God and pray to her, / for she is a quick helper to those who repent, / will pray to the Son of Christ God, / and will have mercy on me, unworthy.

Most Holy Theotokos, save us.

Our salvation, as thou didst desire, O Savior, to arrange, / thou didst dwell in the womb of the Virgin, / thou hast shown the world as a representative: / our father, God, blessed art thou.

Most Holy Theotokos, save us.

The Commander of mercy, whom you gave birth to, O pure Mother, / begged to be delivered from sins and spiritual defilements by faith: / our father, God, blessed are you.

Most Holy Theotokos, save us.

The treasure of salvation and the Source of incorruption, You who gave birth, / and the pillar of affirmation, and the door of repentance, you showed to those calling: / our father God, blessed are you.

Most Holy Theotokos, save us.

Bodily weaknesses and mental ailments, Mother of God, / through the love of those who approach Your blood, O Virgin, heal the graces, / who gave birth to the Savior Christ for us.

Holy Angel of God, my guardian, pray to God for me.

Be merciful to me, and pray to God, O Lord Angel, / for I have you as an intercessor in my whole life, a mentor and guardian, / bestowed upon me by God forever.

Holy Angel of God, my guardian, pray to God for me.

Do not leave my accursed souls on their way / to be killed by a robber, holy Angel, / who were betrayed by God without blemish; / but guide her on the path of repentance.

Glory: I bring all my soul to shame / from my evil thoughts and deeds: / but first, my mentor, / grant me healing with good thoughts, / always deviate from me onto the right path.

And now: Fill everyone with wisdom and Divine strength, / Hypostatic Wisdom of the Most High, for the sake of the Mother of God, who cry with faith: / Our father, God, blessed are you.
