Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee.
O Heavenly King, Comforter, Spirit of Truth, Who art everywhere and fillest all things, Treasure of blessings and Giver of Life, come and abide in us, and cleanse us from every impurity, and save our souls, O Good One.
Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us (3).
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, wash away our sins; Master, pardon our iniquities; Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities, for Thy name's sake.
Lord, have mercy (3).
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 debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
For Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Troparia
Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us; for laying aside all excuse, we sinners offer to Thee as to our Master this supplication: have mercy on us.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
O Lord, have mercy on us, for we have put our trust in Thee. Do not be very angry with us, neither call to remembrance our iniquities; but look upon us now in Thy compassion, and deliver us from our enemies, for Thou art our God, and we are Thy people; we are all the work of Thy hands, and we call upon Thy name.
Now and ever, and unto the ages of ages: Amen.
Open the door of compassion to us, O blessed Theotokos, that hoping in you, we may not perish; but through you may we be delivered from adversities, for you are the salvation of the Christian people.
Lord, have mercy (12).
First Prayer
O Eternal God and King of all creation, Who hast granted me to reach this hour: forgive the sins I have committed this day in deed, word, and thought; and cleanse, O Lord, my humble soul from all impurity of flesh and spirit, Grant me, O Lord, to pass through this night in peaceful sleep; that rising from my lowly bed, I may please Thy most holy name all the days of my life, and thwart the enemies of flesh and spirit, that war against me. Deliver me, O Lord, from vain thoughts and evil desires which defile me. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory: of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen. Second Prayer O Ruler of all, Word of the Father, O Jesus Christ, Thou Who are perfect: For the sake of Thy manifold mercy, never depart from me, but always remain in me, Thy servant. O Jesus, Good Shepherd of Thy sheep, do not deliver me over to the wiles of the serpent, and do not leave me to the will of satan, for the seed of corruption is in me. But O Lord, Who art worshipped, holy King Jesus Christ, guard me as I sleep by the Unwaning Light, Thy Holy Spirit, by Whom Thou didst sanctify Thy disciples. O Lord, grant me, Thy unworthy servant, Thy salvation upon my bed. Enlighten my mind with the light of understanding of Thy Holy Gospel; my soul with the love of Thy Cross; my heart with the purity of Thy word; my body with Thy passionless Passion. Keep my mind in Thy humility, and raise me up at the right time to glorify Thee. For Thou art most glorified together with Thy Father without beginning, and Thy Most Holy Spirit, unto ages of ages. Amen.
Third Prayer
O Lord our God, as Thou art good and the Lover of mankind, forgive my sins committed today in word, deed and thought. Grant me a peaceful and undisturbed sleep; send Thy guardian angel to protect and keep me from all evil. For Thou art the Guardian of our souls and bodies, and unto Thee do we send up glory: to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Fourth Prayer
O Lord our God, in Whom we believe and Whose Name we call upon more than any other, grant us, as we go to sleep, rest of soul and body, and keep us from all fantasies and dark pleasures; stop the onslaught of the passions and quench the burnings that arise in the flesh. Grant us to live in chastity of deed and word, that we may achieve a virtuous life, and not fall away from Thy promised blessings; for Thou art blessed forever. Amen.
Fifth Prayer
O Lord, do not deprive me of Thy heavenly good things. O Lord, deliver me from everlasting torments. O Lord, if I have sinned in mind or thought, in word or deed, forgive me. O Lord, deliver me from all ignorance, forgetfulness, faint-heartedness, and stony insensibility. O Lord, deliver me from every temptation. O Lord, enlighten my heart which evil desire has darkened. O Lord, as a man I have sinned, but as the compassionate God, and seeing the infirmity of my soul, have mercy on me. O Lord, send Thy grace to help me, that I may glorify Thy holy name. O Lord Jesus Christ, inscribe me Thy servant in the Book of Life, and grant me a good end. O Lord my God, even though I have done nothing good in Thy sight, yet grant me by Thy grace to make a good beginning. O Lord, sprinkle into my heart the dew of Thy grace. O Lord of heaven and earth, remember me Thy sinful servant, shameful and unclean, in Thy kingdom. Amen.
Sixth Prayer
O Lord, accept me in repentance. O Lord, do not forsake me. O Lord, lead me not into temptation. O Lord, grant me good thoughts. O Lord, grant me tears, remembrance of death, and compunction. O Lord, grant me the thought of confessing my sins. O Lord, grant me humility, chastity, and obedience. O Lord, grant me patience, courage, and meekness. O Lord, implant in me the root of good, Thy fear in my heart. O Lord, vouchsafe me to love Thee with all my soul and mind, and to do Thy will in all things. O Lord, protect me from evil men, demons, and passions, and from every other unsuitable thing. O Lord, I know that Thou doest as Thou wilt: Thy will be done also in me sinner; for Thou art blessed unto the ages. Amen.
Prayer to the Theotokos
O good Mother of the Good King, most pure and blessed Mary Theotokos, pour out the mercy of your Son and our God upon my passionate soul, and by your intercessions guide me to good works, that I may pass the remaining time of my life without blemish, and attain paradise through you, O Virgin Theotokos, who alone are pure and blessed.
Prayer to the Guardian Angel
O Angel of Christ, my holy guardian and protector of my soul and body, forgive me for all the sins I have committed this day. Deliver me from every evil of my militant enemy, that I may not anger my God by any sin. Pray for me, a sinful and unworthy servant that you may show me worthy of the goodness and mercy of the All-holy Trinity, and of the Mother of my Lord Jesus Christ, and all the saints. Amen. Rejoice O Virgin Theotokos, Mary full of grace the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, for you have borne the Saviour of our souls.
Kissing your cross and making the sign of the Cross, say: Guard me, O Lord, by the power of Thy holy and life-giving Cross, and keep me from all evil.
Prayer to the Venerable Cross
Let God arise and let His enemies be scattered; let those who hate Him flee from before His face. As smoke vanishes, so let them vanish; as wax melts before the fire, so let the demons perish from the presence of those who love God and who sign themselves with the Sign of the Cross and say with gladness: Hail, most precious and life-giving Cross of the Lord, for you drive away the demons by the power of our Lord Jesus Christ Who was crucified on you, went down to hell and trampled on the power of the devil, and gave us His honourable Cross, for driving away all enemies. O most precious and life-giving Cross of the Lord, help me with our holy Lady, the Virgin Theotokos, and all the Saints throughout the ages. Amen.
