On “Lord, I have cried…”, these stichera, in Tone I: Spec. Mel.: “O all-praised martyrs…”—
Glory…, Now & ever…: Theotokion—

O father George, as a fellow-laborer of God, a priest and husbandman, by thy words thou hast now brought to the Master fruit a hundredfold: the souls of the saved. Pray thou now, that He grant unto our souls peace and great mercy.
Rejoice, O bush unburnt! Rejoice, thou who alone gavest birth to the Angel of great counsel! Rejoice, will of the worshipful Trinity! Rejoice, confirmation of mortals! Rejoice, thou who didst cause to spring forth the uncultivated Grain of paradise: the King and Lord Who doth cause the offshoots of evil to wither.
