                                   Εν σοι Πάτερ ακριβώς

In thee O Father was preserved unimpaired that which is according to God’s image,

For thou didst take up the Cross and follow Christ.

By thine actions thou hast taught us to despise the flesh for it passes away,

But to care for the soul which is a thing immortal.

Wherefore, thy spirit, O holy Romanus, rejoices with the angels.
