Troparions for the Repose, Tone 5

Chorus: Blessed art thou, O Lord, teach me by thy justification.

Prayer
God of spirits and all flesh, having trampled down death and abolished the devil, and given life to Thy world! Lord Himself, give rest to the souls of Your departed servants (name), in a brighter place, in a greener place, in a calm place, from where sickness, sadness and sighing will escape. Every sin committed by them, in word, or deed, or thought, as the Good Lover of Mankind, God forgives, as there is no man who will live and will not sin, for You are the only one, besides sin, Your truth is righteousness forever, and Your word is truth.
Exclamation: For You are the Resurrection, and the Life, and the rest of Your departed servants...

The sea of life, raised in vain by misfortunes and storms, flowed to Your quiet refuge, crying out to You: lift up my belly from aphids, O Most Merciful One.

It is impossible for a man to see God, but the angels do not dare to look at Him: for by You, O All-Pure One, the Word incarnate, Who is magnified, has appeared as a man, with the heavenly howls we please You.
Katavasia: The heavens were horrified at this, and the ends of the earth were amazed, for God had appeared as a carnal man, and Your womb was more spacious than the heavens. Thus Thea, the Mother of God, the angels and the people of the ranks are magnified.
