Blessed art thou O Lord teach me thy statues
The choir of saints has found the fountain of life and the door of paradise
May I also find the way through repentance
I am the lost sheep, call be back and save me O Savior
Blessed art thou O Lord teach me thy statues
[?] saints and martyrs, to preach the lamb of God and like lambs were slain
And are now translated to the eternal life that knows no end
Pray fervently to him that he may grant us the forgiveness of our sins
Blessed art thou O Lord teach me thy statues
All ye who in this life have trod the narrow way of sorrow
Bearing the Cross as a yoke and following me in faith
Come and receive with joy the honors and the heavenly crowns that I have prepared for you
Blessed art thou O Lord teach me thy statues
I am an image of thine ineffable glory even though I bear the marks of sin
Take pity on thy creature O Master, and cleanse me in thy lovingkindness
Grant me the fatherland for which I long, making me once more a citizen of paradise
Blessed art thou O Lord teach me thy statues
[?] thou has created me from nothing, and honored me with thine divine image
But when I disobey thy commandment, thou hast returned me to the earth whence I was taken
Lead me back again to thy likeness, refashioning my ancient beauty
Blessed art thou O Lord teach me thy statues
Give rest O God to thy servants and establish them in paradise
Where the choirs of the saints and the righteous shine like the stars of heaven
Give rest O Lord to thy servants who have fallen asleep and overlook all their offenses
Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit
With reverence, let us praise the threefold [?] of the one Godhead
And let us cry aloud Holy art thou O Father who has no beginning
O Eternal Son and Holy Spirit, illumine us who worship you with faith, Lord and snatch us from the everlasting
Both now and ever and unto ages of ages amen
[?] Holy Virgin who for the salvation of all has formed God in the flesh
Through thee may we find kindness and salvation, through thee may we find paradise, O Theotokos pure and blessed
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, glory to thee O God
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, glory to thee O God
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, glory to thee O God
