O Heavenly King, the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth, Who art everywhere present and fillest all things, the Treasury of good gifts and the Giver of life: come and abide in us, and cleanse us of all impurity, and save our souls, O Good One. Amen.
Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us. (x 3)
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, both now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
All-Holy Trinity, have mercy on us. Lord, be gracious unto our sins; Master, forgive our iniquities; Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities, for Thy Name’s sake.
Lord, have mercy; Lord, have mercy; Lord, have mercy
Glory to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, both now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
Our Father, which art in the heavens, 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 debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
For thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit both now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen
As we arise from sleep we fall down before thee O Good One and we cry unto Thee with the hymn of the Angels O Mighty One: 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 bed and from sleep, O Lord, enlighten my mind and my heart and open Thou my lips that I may praise Thee, O Holy Trinity. Holy, Holy, Holy art Thou, O God. Through the Theotokos, have mercy on us.
Both now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
Of a sudden the Judge shall come and the deeds of each shall be laid bare. But let us cry out with fear in the midst of the night: Holy, Holy, Holy art Thou, O God. Through the Theotokos, have mercy on us.
Lord, have mercy (12)
As I rise from sleep I thank Thee O Holy Trinity, for because of Thy great goodness and long-suffering Thou wast not wroth with me, the slothful and sinner, nor didst Thou destroy me in mine iniquities, but didst show Thy wonted love for man, and when I was prostrate in despair, Thou didst raise me to keep the morning watch and glorify Thy dominion. And now enlighten Thou the eyes of my mind, open my mouth to meditate on Thy words and to understand Thy commandments, and to do Thy will, and to chant unto Thee in heartfelt confession and praise Thine All-holy Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
O come, let us worship and fall down before God our King.
O come, let us worship and fall down before Christ, our King and God.
O come, let us worship and fall down before Him, Christ the King and our God.
PSALM 50
Have mercy on me, O God, according to Thy great mercy, and according to the abundance of Thy tender mercies blot out mine iniquity. Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge mine iniquity, and my sin is ever before me. Against Thee only have I sinned, and done this evil before Thee; that Thou mightest be justified in thy words, and prevail in Thy judgment. Behold, I was shapen in iniquities, and in sins did my mother conceive me. Behold, Thou lovest truth, the ineffable and secret things of Thy wisdom Thou declarest unto me. Thou shalt purge me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed; Thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow. Thou shalt make me to hear rejoicing and gladness, and the bones that have been brought low shall rejoice. Turn Thy countenance away from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. Build in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit in mine inward parts. Cast me not away from Thy countenance, and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the rejoicing of Thy salvation, and uphold me with Thy princely spirit. I will teach the iniquitous Thy ways, and the impious shall return unto Thee. Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, Thou God of my salvation, and my tongue shall rejoice in Thy righteousness. O Lord, Thou shalt open my lips, and my mouth shall show forth Thy praise. For if Thou hadst desired sacrifice, I should have given it; Thou delightest not in whole burnt-offerings. A sacrifice unto God is a contrite spirit; a contrite and humbled heart God will not put to shame. Do good, O Lord, in Thy favor unto Sion, and let the walls of Jerusalem be built up. Then shalt Thou be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousness, with oblation and whole burnt-offerings. Then shall they offer calves upon Thine altar.
THE SYMBOL OF THE FAITH
I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the Only-Begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all Ages. Light of Light, True God of True God, begotten, not made, of one essence with the Father, through Whom all things were made.
Who for us men and for our salvation came down from the Heavens and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became Man.
And, crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, He suffered and was buried.
And on the third day He arose, according to the Scriptures.
And ascended into the Heavens, and sitteth at the right hand of the Father.
And He shall come again with glory to judge both the living and the dead, Whose Kingdom shall have no end.
And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life, Who proceedeth from the Father, Who together with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified; Who spake through the Prophets.
In One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the remission of sins.
I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the age to come. Amen.
A PRAYER OF ST. BASIL THE GREAT
Thee do we bless, Thou Most High God and Lord of mercy, Whoever workest with us deeds great and unfathomable, glorious and extraordinary, whereof there is no number; Who hast given unto us sleep for rest from our infirmities and for repose of our much-toiling flesh. We thank Thee that Thou hast not destroyed us in our iniquities, but hast shown Thy wonted love for man and though we were prostrate in despair, Thou hast raised us up to glorify Thy dominion. Wherefore, we beseech Thine incomparable goodness: Enlighten the eyes of our understanding and raise our mind from the heavy sleep of slothfulness. Open our mouth and fill it with Thy praise, that we may be able undistracted to sing and chant and give thanks unto Thee, Who art God glorified in all and by all, the beginningless Father, with Thine Only-begotten Son and Thine All-holy and good and Life-creating Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
Most Glorious, Ever-Virgin, Blessed Theotokos, offer up our prayer to thy Son and our God, and entreat Him, that through thee He may save our souls.
My hope is the Father, my refuge the Son, my protection the Holy Spirit. O Holy Trinity, glory to Thee.
All my hope do I set in thee, O Mother of God; protect me under thy shelter.
It is truly meet to call thee blest, the Theotokos, the ever blessed and all-immaculate, and Mother of our God. More honorable than Cherubim, and beyond compare more glorious than the Seraphim, thee who without corruption gavest birth to God the Word, the very Theotokos, thee do we magnify.
Forgive them that hate us and do us wrong, O Lord; do good unto them that do good unto us. To our brethren and kinsmen, grant their requests that are unto salvation and be Thou the ally of Orthodox Christians.
Unto them that minister and show mercy unto us, grant forgiveness of sins.
Upon them that have enjoined us, the unworthy, to pray for them, have mercy, according to Thy great mercy.
Remember, O Lord all our fathers and brethren who have gone to their rest before us, and grant them rest where the light of Thy countenance shineth.
Remember, O Lord, our brethren the captives and deliver them from every misfortune.
Remember, O Lord, them that bring oblations and do good works in Thy Holy Churches, and grant them their requests that are unto salvation and life everlasting.
Remember, O Lord, us also, Thy humble and sinful and unworthy servants and enlighten our minds with the light of Thy knowledge and lead us in the path of Thy commandments; by the intercessions of Thine all-immaculate Mother, our Lady the Theotokos and Ever-virgin Mary and of all Thy Saints, for blessed art Thou unto all ages. Amen.
Through the prayers of our holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us and save us.
Amen
