Hymns for the Feast of All Saints of North America

Troparion (Tone 8)

We offer unto Thee, our Father in heaven,
the first fruits of sanctity sown in this new land
and all Thy saints, known and unknown, who have shown forth in America.
Fill our hearts with heavenly joy. 
Grant peace to our land and to Thy holy Church,
And sanctify all those who worship Thee.
Through the Theotokos and of all Thy saints, O most merciful One.

Kontakion – (Tone 3)

Today the choir of Saints who were pleasing to God in the lands of North America
Now stands before us in the Church and invisibly prays to God for us.
With them the angels glorify Him,
And all the saints of the Church of Christ keep festival with them;
And together they all pray for us to the Pre-Eternal God.
