Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever
and unto ages of ages. Amen.
O Most Holy Trinity! Have mercy on us! Lord, cleanse us from our sins!
Master, pardon our transgressions! Holy One, visit and heal our
infirmities for Thy name's sake.
Lord, have mercy! _(3 times)_
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever
and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily
bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass
against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
_(If there is a priest, he adds the usual exclamation)_
Having arisen from sleep, we fall down before Thee, O Blessed One, and
sing to Thee, O Mighty One, the angelic hymn: Holy! Holy! Holy! art Thou,
O God; through the Theotokos, have mercy on us.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
Having raised me from my bed and from sleep, O Lord, enlighten my mind
and heart, and open my lips that I may praise Thee, O Holy Trinity: Holy!
Holy! Holy! art Thou, O God; through the Theotokos, have mercy on us.
Now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
The Judge will come suddenly and the acts of every man will be revealed;
but in the middle of the night we cry with fear: Holy! Holy! Holy! art
Thou, O God; through the Theotokos, have mercy on us.
Lord, have mercy! _(12 times)_
Having risen from sleep, I thank Thee, the Holy Trinity. In the abundance
of Thy kindness and long patience, Thou hast not been angry with me for
my laziness and sinfulness, nor hast Thou destroyed me in my lawlessness.
Instead, in Thy usual love for mankind, Thou hast raised me as I lay in
despair, that I might rise early and glorify Thy Reign. Enlighten now the
eyes of my mind and open my lips, that I might learn of Thy words,
understand Thy commandments, accomplish Thy will, hymn Thee in heart-felt
confession and praise Thine all-holy name, the Father and the Son, and
the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Come, let us worship God, our King!
Come, let us worship and fall down before Christ, our King and our God!
Come, let us worship and fall down before Christ Himself, our King and
our God!
Psalm 50
Have mercy on me, O God,
according to Thy great mercy;
according to the multitude of Thy tender mercies,
blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin!
For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is ever before me.
Against Thee, Thee only, have I sinned,
and done that which is evil in Thy sight,
so that Thou art justified in Thy sentence
and blameless in Thy judgment.
Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
and in sins did my mother conceive me.
