To rise from my laziness.

And my burden is heavy,

And her luminous vesture garments.

I greet the Mother of the Light,

Of whom salvation was revealed,
To all the people of Baptism.

To protect us from all evil,
And the plagues of this time,
And help us in every aspect,
And the Christian nations.

Everyone says, “She is blessed,”
Morning and vespers, we ask her,
Before Him whom she held in her womb,
To intercede for everyone.

The gracious father our patriarch,
The pillar of the Christian faith,
A good shepherd, confirming us,
With good plans and guidance.

The father of fathers who inherited,
The priesthood of Melchizedek,
In true faith and firm hope,
And orthodox love.

Keeping his flock from the foxes,
And all demonic snares,
Protecting them from strange things,
And all the heresies of Arius.

Shepherding his people with a tender voice,
With his spiritual teachings,
O Lord, let him enjoy his priesthood,
Give him long life and calmness.

The father, the doer of the Law,
And all the commandments,
Abba (...) the high priest,
The pillar of the Christian faith.

And our bishops the gracious fathers,
His partners in the apostolic service,
Through their prayers we may become,
Sons of the eternal kingdom.

For the bishop:

Through his prayers we may become,
Sons of the eternal kingdom.

Hegumens and presbyters,
And keep our holy Church,
By offering acceptable gifts.

Called to be praising the Virgin,
And entreating brave hero,
Who is gracious to me.

A true and royal native,
The first among the brave,
And the pride of Cappadocia.

The struggle-mantled martyr,
A star shining at dawn,
My lord prince George,
Who is of great might.

I end the words we arranged,
In praising the pure Virgin,
Every Christian who reads them,
She intercedes for his forgiveness.
