Creator and Lover of mankind, unforgiving [of malice/holding no grudge] and compassionate, who art praised by the Seraphim, Lord, righteous judge; with the holy Apostles, Lord, crown our departed; merciful Lord, have mercy on the souls of our departed. When the things written are fulfilled, which they told us concerning that day; [when] the words of the Prophets are honored, [and those] of the Apostles accomplished; merciful Lord, [have mercy]. In the heavenly Jerusalem, in the dwellings of the angels, where Enoch and Elijah abide [in venerable] age, dove-like in the Edenic paradise, suitably glorified; merciful [Lord, have mercy]. King of glory, Christ, who, when the time comes, shalt come from heaven upon the wings of the winds in Thy Father's likeness, and by fiery testing shalt execute the judgment of the sons of men; merciful Lord, have mercy.
