Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles!
Praise Him, all your people!
O Saviour, Thou purchased us mortals
with Thy Blood, and by Thy Death,
Delivered us from bitter Death, and
granted us Life Everlasting by Thy
Resurrection. We pray Thee, O Lord,
to grant Repose to all who in True
Faith have fallen asleep, in deserts,
in cities on land and sea, and
everywhere whether they are Kings,
Priests, Bishops, Ascetics or
Monastics of every age and every
race, and count them worthy of Thy
Heavenly Kingdom.

Truth of the Lord endures forever.
O Christ, by Thy Resurrection from the
dead, Death has no dominion over
those who fall asleep in True Faith.
Therefore, we earnestly Entreat Thee
to grant Repose in Thy Court, in the
Bosom of Abraham, to Thy servants
who have worshipped Thee purely
since the days of Adam, until now
our Fathers and Brethren, friends
and relatives, and every human
being who has lived Faithfully, and
who has passed on to Thee in
various ways, O God, and count
them worthy of Thy Heavenly
Kingdom.
