Thou wast a good pastor for the
Russian people/
who had departed in exodus to
live in a foreign land,/
guiding them in every way,/
but especially with the love
of Christ,/
in all providing a model of love
unfeigned./
O father Jonah, holy hierarch
of Christ,//
entreat Him for the salvation
of our souls.
Taking care for their daily needs,/
Thou didst not forbid
children to come to thee,
O divinely blessed one,/
and didst found a home for
them./
And even after thy repose
thou didst not forsake them;/
for in a dream thou didst
heal a paralyzed boy./
Wherefore we cry out unto
thee://
Rejoice, O all-glorious
Jonah, thou worker of wonders!
