Rufus, Asyncritus, Phlegon and holy Hermes.
They ever entreat the Trinity for our souls!

You became the disciples of Christ
And all-holy Apostles,

Ever entreat the Lord
To grant forgiveness of transgressions
To us who sing your praises.

Like stars, O holy Apostles,
You illumine the way of the faithful with the light of the Holy Spirit.
You dispel the darkness of error as you gaze on God the Word!
