Христианскаго благочестия ревнителю,
защитнику и покровителю Христовы Церкве,
Благочестивейшему, Самодержавнейшему, Великому Государю нашему Императору Николаю Александровичу, Самодержцу Всероссийскому, и иных стран Государю и обладателю,
подаждь, Господи, благоденственное и мирное житие,
здравие же и спасение и во всем благое поспешение,
на враги же победу и одоление,
и сохрани Его на многа лета.
Многая лета.

To the promotor of christian piety,
the protector and defensor of Christ's Church,
our blessed, powerful, great ruler, tsar Nicolas Alexandrovich, all-Russian emperor,
lord and master of other countries,
grant, o Lord, a pious and peaceful life,
good health, good luck and success in his undertakings,
victory over his enemies and lordship over them,
and guard him for many years.
(May you live) for many years!
