Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.


Priest: For the kingdom, the power and the glory are Yours, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, now and for ever  and ever.


People: Amen.


TROPAR (tone 4):


People: With the just spirits who have reached their end, give repose to the souls of Your servants, O Savior, keeping them in the happiness of life in Your presence, O You Who love mankind.

In Your abode, O Lord, where all Your saints repose, give rest also to the souls of Your servants, for You alone love mankind.


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


You are the God Who went down into Hades and loosed the chains of those in bondage: also to the souls of Your servants, O Savior, give repose.


Now and for ever and ever, amen.


Only chaste and immaculate Virgin, who gave birth to God without seed, intercede before Him for the salvation of their souls.


Deacon: Have mercy on us, O God, in the greatness of Your compassion, we pray You, hear us and have mercy.


People: Lord, have mercy. (3)


Deacon: We also pray for the repose of the soul of the servant of God, (N.) who has fallen asleep, and for the forgiveness of his offenses, voluntary and involuntary.


People: Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.


Priest: That the Lord God may place his soul where all the just repose.


People: Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.


Priest: Let us ask Christ our immortal King and our God, for the mercy of God, for the kingdom of heaven, and for the forgiveness of his sins.


People: Grant this, O Lord.


Deacon: Let us pray to the Lord.


People: Lord, have mercy.


Priest: God of spirits and of all flesh, You trampled death, You made the devil powerless, and You gave life to Your world. Now, O Lord, to the soul of Your servant, (N.), who has fallen asleep, grant rest in a place of light, a place of verdure, and a place of tranquillity, from which pain, sorrow and mourning have fled. As the good and loving God, forgive every sin of thought, word or deed he has committed. There is no one who will live and will not sin, for You alone are sinless. Your justice is everlasting justice and Your word is truth.


For You, O Christ our God, are the resurrection, the life and the repose of Your servant, (N.), who has fallen asleep; and we give glory to You, together with Your eternal Father and Your most holy, good and life-giving Spirit, now and for ever and ever.


People: Amen.


Deacon: Wisdom.


People: More honorable than the cherubim and by far more glorious than the seraphim; ever a virgin, you gave birth to God the Word; O true Mother of God, we magnify you.


Priest: Glory be to You, O Christ our God, our hope, glory be to You.


People: Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, now and for ever and ever. Amen.

Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.

Bless us.


Priest: Christ our true God, Who has power over the living and the dead, through the prayers of His immaculate Mother; of the holy, glorious and all-praiseworthy apostles; of our venerable and godly fathers, and of all the saints, will place the soul of His servants, (N.), which has departed from us, in the abode of the just, and will give him rest in the bosom of Abraham, and number him among the just, and will have mercy on us, for He is good and loves mankind.


Re: Amen.


Priest: In blessed sleep grant eternal rest, O Lord, to Your ever-to-be-remembered servant, (N.), and make his memory everlasting.


Priest incenses three times around tetrapod OR coffin.


People: ETERNAL MEMORY, ETERNAL MEMORY, ETERNAL MEMORY.  With the holy ones grant rest O Christ, and eternal memory.
