Written with the intent of revision as found necessary through practical use, Isabel prepared a second edition for which she asked Abp. Tikhon's blessing during her last visit to Russia in 1916-1917. Endorsement of the second edition came from [[Patriarch]] Tikhon on [[November 3]], 1921 in which he extended his blessing on ''…Our American flock, always so near to Our heart: and upon Our never-to-be-forgotten American friends, and unto you all.'' This edition was published in 1922.
The preparation of the Service Book was considered by Isabel Hapgood as a "gift of love". For her eleven years of labor she was provided an honorarium of $500.
Isabel Hapgood reposed in New York City on [[June 26]], 1928 and was buried in Worcester, Massachusetts.
