¶1

Irmos, Tone 6: There is none as holy as Thou, O Lord my God, Who hast exalted the horn of Thy faithful O Good One, and hast established us upon the rock of Thy confession.

¶2

Choir: Lord, have mercy. Thrice.

¶3

Sessional hymn:

¶4

Tone 6 [Sticheron Melody]: Truly all things are vanity / and life is but a shadow and a dream, / for in vain doth every one born of earth disquiet himself, / as saith the Scripture; / when we have acquired the world, / then do we take up our abode in the grave, / where together are both kings and beggars. / Wherefore, O Christ God, give rest to the departed, // as Thou art the Lover of mankind.

¶5

Grant rest, O Lord, unto the soul of Thy departed servant.

¶6

There is no man on earth who hath not sinned, O Word. Wherefore, accept the entreaty offered by us, the lowly, and pardon and remit all the offenses of Thy servant, O Savior.

¶7

Grant rest, O Lord, unto the soul of Thy departed servant.

¶8

Who loveth man like Thee, O merciful Lord, Who in Thy great authority forgivest the sins of the living and the dead? Wherefore, thereby save Thy servant also.

¶9

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

¶10

O Savior, show him who hath reposed in faith to be an heir of a higher calling, accepting his final, tearful prayer, O Thou Who alone art sinless.

¶11

Both now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

¶12

O most holy Virgin, who art out Mistress, never cease to entreat Him to Whom thou gavest birth, that He vouchsafe His kingdom unto him who hath reposed in faith.
