[anything;] but as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just; for I do not seek my own will, but the will of him who sent me. *End [of the reading]. [John] 5:30.*

HYMN COMPOSED BY THE LORD NERSĒS, CATHOLICOS, FOR THOSE WHO HAVE FALLEN ASLEEP IN CHRIST, AFTER THE GOSPEL OF SAINT MATTHEW. [FOR THE] SENIOR CHOIR SIDE, AND [THE] CONCLUSION.

[Mode] BK (Bjayn, second authentic tone). [Mode] DK (Darj jayn, fourth plagal tone). God uncreated, timeless, Father without beginning and unmeasured, Cause of the Son by ineffable generation, [and] of the Spirit by unsearchable procession: we beseech You, O Compassionate, Long-suffering, and Merciful One, have mercy upon this Your creation, who has fallen asleep in hope in You. O Word, Only-begotten Who art in the bosom of the Father, and the Image of the Archetype, by Whom the heavens were brought into being, [and] the universe was completely established: we entreat of You, Lord and Savior, All-merciful and Giver of Life, have mercy upon this Your creation.
