Irmos: Cleanse me, O Savior, for many are my transgressions; and lead me up from the abyss of evils, I pray, for to Thee have I cried, and Thou hast hearkened to me, O God of my salvation.
Kontakion, in Tone IV—
Theotokion: As the all-holy temple, O Theotokos, thou gavest birth to the inexhaustible Wellspring, O most immaculate Mistress.
Thou didst bud forth as a branch from an all-honored root, O all-glorious one, and didst live piously on earth; and thou wast shown to be a pure habitation of the Spirit, sanctifying those who have recourse to thee with faith, O blessed one.
Today the holy land of Russia hath been filled with gladness on the appointed day of the feast of the all-glorious and blessed wonder-worker Alexander; for he ever preserveth his homeland unharmed.
With hymns let us bless Alexander, glorifying him as the helper of orphans and widows, our invincible ally amid misfortunes; for he delivereth from tribulations and sorrows those who celebrate his memory with gladness.
As thy kinsmen Boris and Gleb appeared to thee, bringing thee help from heaven when thou didst battle against Velgar the Swede and his warriors, so now, O blessed Alexander, come to the aid of thy kinfolk, and contend thou against those who wage war against us.
Ikos: As an eagle gathereth its young under its wings, so did Alexander gather his people, who had been scattered of old by the assaults of the enemy; and he now assembleth us for a spiritual festival. Wherefore, come ye, let us rejoice in the Lord, and glorify our glorious kinsman and master; and let us cry aloud: Rejoice, O glory of Russia, might of its scepter, bravery of its warriors, strength of its weaponry! Be thou mindful of thy flock, which the Lord appointed thee to oversee, and contend thou against those who wage war against us.
