I loved that the Lord has heard the voice of my prayer.
Sun of Righteousness!
You arose over Armenia;
And filled the Holy Church with light
By the shedding of the blood of the Saints;
By their prayers have mercy on us, Bestower of blessings;
And have mercy on us, Your creatures.
The watchful pastors
With the help of their holy children;
By the fire of the Spirit
Put out the flame of the Persian fire worshippers;
By their prayers have compassion on us, Giver of blessings;
And have mercy on us, Your creatures.
Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit;
Now and for ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
The Parthian seer
Foresaw beforehand by God's inspiration;
The spiritual sons of St Gregory adorned with crowns
By their prayers have pity on us, Bestower of blessings;
And have mercy on us, Your creatures.
