At the Praises, these stichera, in Tone II—

Thou dost abide with pious kings in the heavenly kingdom, with the fasters and ascetics art thou praised, with the martyrs art thou glorified, and with all the righteous art thou blessed, O glorious ­Edward. Twice

Earnestly do we bow down before the shrine of thy relics, celebrating the commemoration of thine untimely demise; and mindful of the wonders worked thereby, we ask thine aid and assistance, O Edward, thou righteous king.

O thou who with the blood of thy martyrdom didst adorn thy royal vesture more than with purple and amethyst, and who hast received a crown of suffering from the hand of God: thou hast reclined at the banquet of Christ with His elect. Pray thou, O Edward, in behalf of our souls.

Glory…, in Tone VI—

Lo! the time is shortened; judgment is at the gates! Lo! the souls of the slain cry out for the justice of God: How long, O Lord, dost Thou not avenge our blood? But they are admonished to wait with patience until the number of the saved is fulfilled and the mystery of iniquity is revealed. Then the Judge will come, Who will render unto each according to his deeds. And thou, O most blessed king, shalt receive the portion of the blessed. Wherefore, entreat Christ the Master, that we be vouchsafed a place at His right hand.
