All-praised and all-honored hierarch,

Great wonderworker,

Saint of Christ.

Father Nicholas,

Man of God and faithful servant,

Man of love,

Chosen vessel,

Strong pillar of the Church,

Most-brilliant lamp,

Star that illumines and enlightens the whole world;

Thou art a righteous man

That did flourish like a palm tree

Planted in the courts of the Lord;

Dwelling in Myra thou hast diffused

The fragrance of myrrh,

And thou pourest out the ever-flowing myrrh

Of the grace of God.

By thy presence most-holy Father,

The sea was sanctified

When your most-miraculous relics

Were carried to the city of Bari,

From the East to the West

To praise the name of the Lord.

O most-superb

And most-marvellous wonderworker,

Speedy helper,

Fervent intercessor,

Good shepherd that saveth

The rational flock from all dangers

We glorify and magnify thee

As the hope of all Christians,

A fountain of miracles,

A defender of the faithful,

A most wise teacher,

A feeder of the hungry,

The gladness of those that mourn,

Clothing of the naked,

Healer of the sick,

Pilot of those that sail the sea,

Liberator of prisoners,

Nourisher and protector of widows and orphans,

Guardian of chastity,

Gentle tutor of children,

Support of the aged,

Guide of fasters,

Rest of those that labor,

Abundant riches of the poor and needy.

Hearken unto us

That pray unto thee

And flee to thy protection,

Show thy mediation on our behalf

With the Most High,

And obtain through thy God-pleasing intercessions

All that is useful

For the salvation of our souls and bodies;

Keep this holy habitation (or this temple),

Every city and town,

And every Christian country,

And the people that dwell therein,

From all oppression through thy help;

For we know

That the prayer of a righteous man

Availeth much for good;

And after the most-blessed Virgin Mary,

We have thee as a righteous mediator

With the All-Merciful God,

And to thy fervent intercession

And protection we humbly hasten.

Do thou, as a watchful and good shepherd,

Keep us from all enemies and pestilence,

Earthquake and hail,

Famine, flood and fire,

The sword and invasions,

And in all our misfortunes and affliction

Do thou give us a helping hand

And open the doors of God’s compassion;

For we are unworthy

To look upon the height of heaven

Because of the multitude of our sins;

We are bound by the bonds of sin

And have not done the will of our Creator

Nor kept His commandments.

Wherefore, we bow the knees

Of our broken and humble heart to our Maker,

And we ask thy fatherly intercession with Him;

Lest we perish with our sins,

Deliver us from all evil,

And from every adverse thing,

Direct our minds and strengthen our hearts

In the Orthodox Faith,

Which, through thy mediation and intercession,

Neither wounds, nor threats, nor plague,

Nor the wrath of our Creator shall lessen;

But vouchsafe that we may live a peaceful life here

And see the good things in the land of the living,

Glorifying the Father,

And the Son, and the Holy Spirit,

One God glorified and worshipped in Trinity,

Now and ever,

And unto the ages of ages.

Amen.
