To: Kathy in Alaska; LUV W; PROCON; The Mayor
Kontakion in Tone 8
(to the special melody 'To thee the Champion Leader')

Ye faithful witnesses, heroes who gave their last measure of love
In Shenksville, Arlington, and in Manhattan;
At the Trade Center, ye joined the holy relics
Of Saint Nicholas and Saint Sava the sanctified
In a cloud that showed forth your last devotion.
By your example we sing:
O Lord Jesus, be our comfort and strength!
