On the Cross: You were bound for good deeds, O martyr of Christ: George; by faith you conquered the torturer¹s godlessness.

Invitatory:
Almighty God, who gave to your servant George boldness to confess the Name of our Savior Jesus Christ before the rulers of this world, and courage to die for this faith: Grant that we may always be ready to give a reason for the hope that is in us, and to suffer gladly for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

3rd: The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever; the ordinances of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

Final Cross:
God raised you as his own gardener, O George, for you have gathered for yourself the sheaves of virtue. Having sown in tears, you now reap with joy; you shed your blood in combat and won Christ as your crown. Through your intercessions, forgiveness of sins is granted to all. --Kontakion in tone 4
