Irmos: Sometimes the fiery furnace in Babylon divided the action, scorching the Chaldeans by God's command, and watering the faithful, singing: Bless all the works of the Lord, the Lord.
Rest, O Lord, the soul of Your departed servant.
Having destroyed the mortal kingdom with Your death, and opened the entrance to the eternal belly with Divine power, do not close Your mercy to Your servant, even if he has sinned, even if I now cry from hell to the mountaineer.
Rest, O Lord, the soul of Your departed servant.
We are worthy to enjoy Your beauty, cleansing the cold of ugly sin from the dead with a blasphemous death: For You alone, O Lord, are free from sin, You died on the cross for us.
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Although You have appeared in death to correct those who have fallen into the dust of death, You, the Immortal One, have raised Your servant (name) from mortal pleasures by Your power, who crawled through the cruel death.
And now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Greatness truly is the mystery of Your Nativity, Mother of God: You gave birth to God incarnate; Pray to Him, as Thy Son, to save the poor deceased (name): for I have boldness towards the Compassionate Savior of the world, born of You.
