O Lord our God, mighty in counsel, and wonderful in works, Maker of all creation, who keepest thy covenant and thy mercy towards them that love thee and that keep thy commandments, who acceptest the piteous tears of all them that are in need; for for this cause thou didst come in the form of a servant, not terrifying us with phantoms, but vouchsafing true bodily healing, and saying, Behold, thou art made whole, sin no more: yea, thou didst with clay restore the eyes of the blind, and didst bid him wash, and by a word didst make him see, O thou that breakest the waves of adverse passions, and driest up the salt sea of this life, and quellest the billows of lusts that are hard to be endured; do thou thyself, O man-loving King, who hast given unto us to be invested with a snow-white robe by water and the Spirit, by the partaking of this water, and by being sprinkled therewith, send down upon us thy blessing, which taketh away the defilement of passions. Yea, O Blessed One, we pray thee to visit our infirmities, and to heal our spiritual and bodily weaknesses by thy mercy: through the prayers of our altogether most pure, most blessed Lady, the God-bearing ever-virgin Mary; through the might of the honourable and life-effecting cross; through the intercessions of the honourable heavenly bodiless hosts; of the honourable glorious prophet, forerunner, and baptist, John; of the holy glorious and all-praised apostles; of our venerable and god-bearing fathers; of our fathers in the saints, the great hierarchs and ecumenical doctors, Basil the great, Gregory the theologian, and John Chrysostom; of our fathers in the saints, Athanasius and Cyril, patriarchs of Alexandria; of our father in the saints, Spyridon, wonderworker of Trimythes; of our father in the saints, archbishop Nicolas, wonderworker of Myrlicia; of our fathers in the saints, Peter, Alexis, Jonas, and Philip, wonderworkers of all Russia; of the holy and glorious great martyr, George, the triumphant; of the holy and glorious great martyr, Demetrius, the myrrh-emitter: of the holy and excellently victorious martyrs; of the holy and righteous god-progenitors, Joakim and Anna; of the holy glorious and unmercenary wonderworkers, Cosmas and Damian, Cyrus and John, Pantelimon and Hermolaus, Sampson and Diomed, Mocius and Anicetus, Thalaleus and Tryphon; and of the holy, name, whose memory we keep, and of all thy Saints.
And preserve, O Lord, thy Servant, our Most Pious, Autocratic, Great Lord, THE EMPEROR ALEXANDER ALEXANDROVITCH, of all Russia. Thrice.
And His Consort, the Most Pious Lady, THE EMPRESS MARIA THEODOROVNA.
And His Heir, the Right-believing Lord, the Cesarevitch and Grand Duke, NICOLAUS ALEXANDROVITCH, and all the reigning House.
Save, O Lord, and have mercy upon the Most Holy Governing Synod, give unto them spiritual and bodily health, and be gracious in all things to this thy ministration of the christian polity. Remember, O Lord, every episcopate of the right-believers, that rightly divide the word of thy truth, and every priestly and monastic order, and their salvation. Remember, O Lord, them that hate and them that love us, our ministering brethren here present, and them that for a blessed cause are absent and have desired us, unworthy ones, to pray for them. Remember, O Lord, our brethren that are in bonds and afflictions, and have mercy upon them according to thy great mercy, delivering them from every need. For thou art the fountain of healing, O Christ our God, and to thee we ascribe glory, with thine unbeginning Father, and with thy most holy, and good, and life-creating Spirit, now and ever, and to ages of ages.
Choir. Amen.
Priest. Peace to all.
Choir. And to thy spirit.
Deacon. Bow your heads to the Lord.
