Orthodox Eastern Church -- Liturgy -- Texts
_Exclamation._ For hallowed is thy name, and glorified is thy kingdom, of
the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, now and ever, and to
ages of ages. Amen.
_And be it noted that, if the liturgy be not celebrated, the Archpriest
maketh the beginning_, Blessed be our God.... _and then is sung_, O
heavenly King.... _Trisagion._ O most holy Trinity.... Our Father.... For
thine is the kingdom.... _And the troparion of the day is said._
_But if the liturgy be celebrated_, O heavenly King.... _and Trisagion
and_ Our Father.... _are not sung, and only these troparia are said._
O holy apostles, pray the merciful God that he may grant our souls
remission of sins.
The grace of thy mouth, shining forth like fire, hath illuminated the
universe, hath offered the world treasures of liberality, and hath shewed
to us the height of humility. And as thou instructest by thy words, O
father John Chrysostom, pray Christ, the Word of God, to save our souls.
Thy sound is gone forth into all the earth, which hath received thy word,
whereby thou hast divinely taught, hast explained the nature of things
that are, and brightened the customs of men, O royal divine, venerable
father: pray thou Christ God to save our souls.
The shepherd’s reed of thy divinity hath overcome the trumpets of the
orators; for as to him that seeketh the deep things of the spirit, so
was the grace of language accorded thee. Then, father Gregory, pray
Christ God to save our souls.
_Glory. Both now._
Through the prayers, O Lord, of all the saints, and of the God-bearing
one, grant thy peace to us, and have mercy upon us, as being alone
compassionate.
_Then the Archpriest sheareth his head crosswise, saying_, In the name
of the Father. _A protodeacon and a reader, or a singer, say_, Amen.
_Archpriest._ And of the Son. _Protodeacon._ Amen. _Archpriest._ And of
the Holy Ghost. _Protodeacon._ Amen.
_Then the Archpriest putteth the short phelonion on him, and again thrice
signeth him crosswise on his head with the hand, and layeth his hand upon
him, and prayeth thus,_
O Lord God almighty, elect this thy servant, and sanctify him, and grant
unto him, in all wisdom and understanding, to practise the study and
reading of thy divine words, preserving him in a blameless course of life.
_Exclamation._
Through the mercy, and compassions, and love to man of thine
only-begotten Son, with whom thou art blessed, together with thine
all-holy, and good, and life-creating Spirit, now and ever, and to ages
of ages. Amen.
