Irmos: From the flames of the saints you poured out dew / and you burned the righteous sacrifice with water: / you did everything, O Christ, just as you willed. / We extol You to all ages.
Have mercy on me, God, have mercy on me.
Why shouldn’t I cry when I think about death, / seeing my brother lying in the grave, inglorious and ugly? / What do I drink and what do I hope for? / Just grant me, Lord, / before the end, repentance. (twice)
Have mercy on me, God, have mercy on me.
I believe that you will come to judge the living and the dead, / and all will stand in their rank, / old and young, rulers and princes, virgins and priests; where will I find myself? / For this reason I cry: / Grant me, O Lord, repentance before the end.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
Theotokos: Most Pure Mother of God, / accept my unworthy prayer / and save me from insolent death, / and grant me repentance before the end.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
Do not despise the help that you require from You, O Virgin, / singing and extolling You forever.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
You heal the infirmity of my soul and bodily illnesses, O Virgin, / so that I may glorify You, O Pure One, forever.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
You pour out a wealth of healing to those who faithfully sing to Thee, O Virgin, / and to those who extol Your ineffable Nativity.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
You drive away adversity and find passions, O Virgin: / and therefore we sing of You forever and ever.
Holy Angel of God, my guardian, pray to God for me.
Sent from God, / strengthen the life of my servant, O most good Angel, / and do not leave me forever.
Holy Angel of God, my guardian, pray to God for me.
You are a good angel, / my soul’s mentor and guardian, most blessed, / I sing for ever.
Glory: May I be protected and protected / on the day of testing of all people, / who will be tempted by fire to do good and evil.
And now: Be my helper and silence, O Ever-Virgin Mother of God, Thy servant, / and do not leave me deprived of Thy dominion.
