and to the Holy Spirit
Since Thou art Gracious and
Compassionate by Nature, and
delight in Steadfast Love, being an
abyss of Compassion, O Saviour, to
those whom Thou Translated from
this place of punishment and from
the Shadow of Death, wherein shines
Thy Light, assign a place, O Lord.
Now and ever, and to the Ages of ages.
Amen
O Pure One, we know Thee as the
Tablet of the Law of Grace, the Holy
Tabernacle and Sacred Ark. For
through Thee to those who have
been Justified by the Blood of te One
Who became Incarnate from Thy
Womb, has been granted Absolution,
O All Blameless One.
For mankind to behold God is
impossible, for even the Angelic
Hosts dare not gaze upon Him. But,
through Thee, O All Pure Maiden, the
Logos Appeared Incarnate unto
mortals. We Magnify Him, and
together with the Heavenly Hosts, we
pronounce Thee Blessed.
O Thou Who with profound Wisdom
and Love for mankind, order all
things, and grant to all what is to
their Profit, Only Creator: grant rest,
O Lord, to the souls of Thy servants;
for they set their every Hope in
Thee, the Maker and Creator and
God of us all.
✞ Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit

To Earth we were sent again for
transgressing the Divine Command
of our Creator God. But through
Thee unto Heaven were we from
Earth exalted, O Virgin Maiden,
having shaken off the corruption of
Death.
By the Intercessions of Thy Martyrs, O
Lord, grant rest to the soul of Thy
servants.
Redeemed by Thy Blood were the
Martyrs, from the primordial
Transgression. Sprinkled with their
own blood, they clearly portray the
slaughter Thou willingly endured,
crying out: “Blessed art Thou, O God
of our Fathers!”
Their soul shalt dwell among Good
Things.
Death Thou put to death, O
Supremely Life-Originating Word of
God. In Thy Love for mankind,
received now those who have fallen
asleep in Faith, O Christ, and who
extol Thee with Hymns and
Psalmody: “Blessed art Thou, O God
of our Fathers!”
✞ Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit
Thy Divine Breath, Thou animated
mankind, O Sovereign Master; by Thy
Mercy, account worthy of Thy Kingly
Rule, Thy servants who have passed
away, O Christ, and who sing to
Thee: “Blessed art Thou, O God of
our Fathers”
Now and ever, and to the Ages of ages.
Amen
Thou became exalted Higher than all
Creation, O Blameless One,
Conceiving our God Who has
shattered the Gates of Death and
crushed the bars thereof.
Wherefore, we Faithful offer Hymns
extolling Thee, O Pure One, as the
Mother of our God.
