1) Our God the Forgiver
Doesn’t reject any sinner
Even Arianus the governor
Hail to our beloved saint

2) Over Ansena, he ruled
And the Christians he tortured
He had them slain and martyred
Hail to our beloved saint

3) God wanted Arianus to obey
And to put his sins away
So He changed his life in one day
Hail to our beloved saint

4) The beginning of his conversion
Was when Apollonius the musician
Confessed that he was Christian
Hail…

5) Apollonius’s martyrdom
Lured Arianus to God’ kingdom
According to divine wisdom
Hail…

6) An arrow which was intended
For the martyr to be executed
Hit Arianus’s eye instead
Hail…

7) The blood that the martyr shed
Healed the eye that was wounded
So Arianus repented
Hail…

8) Arianus immediately
Destroyed his idols openly
And treated Christians kindly
Hail…

9) When the news reached Diocletian
That Arianus became Christian
He punished him for his actions
Hail…

10) The emperor asked Arianus
And saw his firm faithfulness
So he grew even more furious
Hail…

11) The saint was tortured harshly
Then locked mercilessly
Into a pit to die painfully
Hail…

12) By an angel, he was delivered
From the pit, and transported
Next to Diocletian’s bed
Hail…

13) Upon seeing Arianus released
Diocletian’s wrath increased
And his cruelty was unappeased
Hail…

14) The emperor without pity
Ordered that Arianus be
Thrown in a hair sack in the sea
Hail…

15) On the eighth of Baramhat
St. Arianus’s spirit
Reached its heavenly target
Hail…

16) Our Lord the Almighty
Had a sea creature carry
St. Arianus’s body
Hail…

17) God had told the saint before
That his body would be cared for
And sent to Alexandria’s shore
Hail…

18) When the people of the city
Found St. Arianus’s body
They received it joyfully
Hail…

19) The bodies of Sts. Arianus
Philemon and Apollonius
Were laid in the same place
Hail…

20) We thank our Good Savior
For offering honor
To any repentant sinner
Hail…

21) Let us take St. Arianus
As an example for us
To rush and become righteous
Hail…

22) The door of heaven
Always remains open
We just need to take action
Hail…
