You budded from a famous and glorious root;
You blossomed from a royal and illustrious city, O supremely wise Alexis;
You disdained everything on earth as corruptible and fleeting,
And you hastened to Christ the Master.
Always entreat Him to save our souls.
Kontakion - Tone 4
Today with hymns and praise
We celebrate the feast of Alexis the blessed and we cry aloud:
Rejoice, gladsome adornment of the righteous.
