Heavenly armies of the Archangels, / we always pray to you, we are unworthy, / with your prayers protect us / with the blood of your immaterial glory, / preserving us diligently and crying out:/ deliver us from troubles, // like the rulers of the highest Powers.
1. Male voice. 2. Female voice.
Archangels of God,/ servants of the Divine glory,/ leaders of angels, and teachers of men,/ ask for what is useful for us, and great mercy,// like the Bodiless Archangels.
The memory of the righteous with praise,/ but the testimony of the Lord, the Forerunner, is sufficient for you:/ for you have shown that you are truly more honorable than the prophets,/ that even in the streams of baptism you were worthy Preached./ Moreover, having suffered for the truth, rejoicing,/ you preached the gospel to those in hell of the God who is manifest in the flesh,/ who takes away the sin of the world,// and gives us great mercy.
Prophet of God and Forerunner of grace,/ your head, like the most sacred thorn from the earth, has found,/ we always accept healing,// for again, just as you preached repentance in the world before.
Save, O Lord, Thy people/ and bless Thy inheritance,/ granting victories against the enemy// and preserving Thy life through Thy Cross.
Ascend to the Cross by will,/ to Thy namesake new residence,/ grant Thy bounty, O Christ God,/ make us glad by Thy power,/ giving us victories for our peers,/ benefits those who have Your weapon of peace, // invincible victory.
Holy apostles,/ pray to the Merciful God,/ may forgiveness of sins// be granted to our souls.
Firm and divinely preached preachers,/ the top of your apostles, Lord,/ you accepted the pleasure of your good things and peace;/ you accepted illness and death more than anything else all-fertility, // One knowledgeable heart.
The rule of faith and the image of meekness,/ the teacher’s self-control/ will show you to your flock/ Even the truth of things./ For this reason you have acquired high humility,/ rich in poverty,/ Father Superior Nicholas,/ pray to Christ God,// to save our souls.
In Mireh, holy, the priest appeared to you, / For Christ, the reverend, having fulfilled the Gospel, / you laid down your soul for your people / and you saved the innocent from death./ For this reason you were sanctified, // like the great hidden place of God’s grace.
Apostles, martyrs and prophets,/ holiness, saints and righteous ones,/ those who accomplished good deeds and kept the faith,/ have boldness towards the Savior,/ about us That is good, pray, // to be saved, we pray, for our souls.
Like the firstfruits of nature, to the Planter of creation,/ the universe brings to You, Lord, God-bearing martyrs;/ through their prayers in the deep world// Thy Church, Thy residence to the Mother of God observe, Most merciful.
Remember, Lord, that Thy servants are good,/ and, if you have sinned in life, forgive:/ no one is sinless, only You,// can give peace to the departed.
With the saints rest,/ Christ,/ the souls of Thy servant,/ where there is no sickness, no sorrow,/ no sighing,// but endless life.
