(The sing + means that we have to cross ourselves at those points.)
+Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
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 Your 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, now and for evermore. 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.
+Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and for evermore. Amen.
+Come, let us worship and bow down before God, our King.
+Come, let us worship and bow down before Christ, our King and our God.
+Come, let us worship and bow down to Christ Himself, our King and God.
Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your steadfast love; according to Your abundant mercy 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 You, You only, have I sinned; and done that which is evil in Your sight, so that You are justified in Your sentence and blameless in Your judgment. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and as a sinner my mother conceived me.
Behold, You desire truth in the inward being. Teach me wisdom in my secret heart. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Fill me with joy and gladness; let the bones which You have broken rejoice. Hide Your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O god, and put a new and right spirit in me. Cast me not away from Your presence, and take not Your Holy Spirit from me. Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners will return to You. Deliver me from bloodshed, O God, God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing aloud of Your deliverance. O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall proclaim Your praise. For You have no delight in sacrifice; were I to give a burnt offering, You would not be pleased. The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise. Do good to Zion in Your good pleasure; rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, then will You delight in right sacrifices, in burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on Your altar. Have mercy on me, O God.
O God, come to my assistance! O Lord, hasten to help me! Shame and disgrace upon those who seek my life! Let them turn back and be confounded who wish me evil! Let them now turn in shame who jeer at me: "Well done! Well done!" But let all who search for You be glad and rejoice in You, and let those who love your salvation, O God, always say: "The Lord be exalted!" As for me, I am wretched and poor: God shall be my help. You are indeed my help and my salvation, O Lord: tarry not!
O Lord, listen to my prayer; in your truth give heed to my request and in your justice hear me, and enter not into judgment with your servant since of all the living none is just before You. The enemy has pursued my soul, he has crushed my life into the ground; he has forced me to dwell in darkness like those long dead. My spirit was overwhelmed with grief and within me my heart was troubled. Remembering the days of old, I meditated on all your deeds, I thought of the works of Your hands. I stretched out my hands to You; like a parched land my soul longed for You. Listen to me without delay, O Lord; my spirit has failed me. Turn not your face away from me, nor let me sink in the pit like the others. Grant that I may hear your love at dawn for I have placed my hope in You. O Lord, let me know which way I shall go, for I have lifted up my soul to You. Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies: it is to You that I have fled. Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God; may your good Spirit lead me over level ground. For the sake of your name, O Lord, You will keep me alive. In Your saving bounty, you will deliver my soul from oppression, and in your loving kindness, you will destroy my enemies, and bring to naught all those who grieve my soul, for I am your servant.
+Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, and good will to men.
We praise You, we bless you, we worship You, we glorify You, we give thanks to You for the splendor of your glory.
+O lord King, Heavenly God: Father Almighty! O Lord only-begotten Son: Jesus Christ! (and) O You: All-holy Spirit! O Lord God, O Lamb of God, O Son of the Father who take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us! O You who take away the sins of the world!
Accept our supplication, O You who are enthroned at the right hand of the Father, and have mercy on us!
For You alone are holy, You alone are the Lord Jesus Christ in the glory of God the Father. Amen.
Every day will I bless You and sing to your name, always and for ever and ever.
O Lord, You have been for us a refuge from age to age. I said: "Lord, have mercy on me and heal my soul, for I have sinned against You."
O Lord, to You do I come for shelter: teach me to obey your will, for You are my God. For with You is the fountain of life, and in your Light we shall see light.
Extend your mercy upon those who confess You. Deign, O Lord, to keep us this night without sin.
+Blessed are You, O Lord, God of our Fathers: praised and glorified is your name for ever. Amen.
O lord, let your mercy rest upon us, for we have placed our trust in You.
+Blessed are You, O Lord: teach me your statutes.
+Blessed are You, O Master: grant that I may understand your statutes.
+Blessed are You, O Holy One: enlighten me with your statutes.
Everlasting is your love, O Lord: turn not away from the work of your hands. Indeed, praise, adoration, and glory are your due, +Father, Son and Holy Spirit, now and for evermore. Amen.
I believe in one God, Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, begotten of the Father before all ages. Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten, not made, of the same essence with the Father, by Whom all things were made; Who for us men and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit and of the Virgin Mary, and became man. He was crucified for our sake under Pontius Pilate. He suffered, and was buried. And on the third day He arose according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father; And He shall come again with glory, to judge the living and the dead, and His kingdom shall have no end.
And I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life, Who proceeds from the Father, Who, together with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified, Who spoke through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
I await the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.
Amen.
It is fitting and right to call you blessed, O Theotokos, the ever-blessed and all-blameless one, and the Mother of our God. You who are higher in honor than the Cherubim, and more glorious beyond compare than the Seraphim, who gave birth to God the Word in virginity. You are truly Mother of God: you we exalt!
O God of our Fathers who always deals with us according to your everlasting compassion, do not withdraw your mercy from us, but through the prayers of our Fathers, guide our lives along the ways of peace.
O Christ God, Your Church, crimsoned with the blood of your martyrs all over the world as with a cloak of murex and porphyry, cries out to You: "Send your mercy upon your people, grant peace to your fold, and extend your great compassion upon our souls."
+Glory to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
O Christ, with the saints grant rest to the souls of your servants, in a place where there is no pain, no sorrow, no sighing, but everlasting life.
Now and for evermore. Amen.
Lord have mercy! Lord have mercy! Lord have mercy!
+Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit now and for evermore. Amen.
More honorable than the Cherubim, and incomparably more glorious than the Seraphim; you, who incorruptibly gave birth to God the Logos, verily the Theotokos, you, we magnify.
In the Name of the Lord, father give the blessing.
