We praise thee, O God, we acknowledge thee to be the Lord.
All the earth doth worship thee, the Father everlasting.
To thee all Angels cry aloud, the Heavens, and all the Powers therein.
To thee Cherubim and Seraphim continually do cry.

Holy,Holy, Holy,  Lord God of Sabaoth;
Heaven and earth are full  of the Majesty of thy glory.
The glorious company of the Apostles praises thee.
The admirable company of the Prophets praises thee.
The white robed army of Martyrs praises thee.
The holy Church throughout all the world doth acknowledge thee;
The Father,  of an infinite Majesty.
Thine adorable, true, and only Son;
Also the Holy Spirit,  the Comforter.
Thou art the King of Glory, O Christ.
Thou art the everlasting Son of the Father.  

Thou, having taken upon thee to deliver to deliver man, didst not disdain the Virgin's womb.
When thou hadst overcome the sting of death, thou didst open the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers.
Thou sittest at the right hand of God, in the glory of the Father.
We believe that thou shalt come to be our Judge.  

We therefore pray thee, help thy servants, whom thou hast redeemed with thy precious Blood.

Make them to be numbered with thy Saints,  in glory everlasting.
O Lord, save thy people, and bless thine heritage.
Govern them, and lift them up for ever.
Day by day we bless thee.

And we praise thy name for ever, yea for ever and ever.
Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us this day without sin.
O Lord, have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us.

O GOD, whose mercies are numberless and the treasure of whose goodness has no end, we give thanks to thy most gracious Majesty for the gifts thou hast bestowed, beseeching thy mercy that, as thou grantest the petitions of them that ask, so, not forsaking them, thou wilt prepare them for rewards to come. Through Christ our Lord. R. Amen.

 

ABIDE WITH US O LORD

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me

because He has anointed me

to bring glad tidings to the poor.

He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives and recovery of sight to the blind,

to let the oppressed go free,

and to proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord."

 

And again it says:

"Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with His people." And again:

"Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles,

and let all the peoples praise him."And again Isaiah says:

"The Root of Jesse shall come,

raised up to rule the Gentiles;

and in Him shall the Gentiles hope."

 

Who, though He was in the form of God,

did not regard equality with God as something to be grasped at.

But rather, He emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, coming in

likeness to a Man;

and found in appearance as a Man,

He humbled himself,

becoming obedient unto death, even unto the death of the Cross.

Because of this, God greatly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the

name that is above every other name,

that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, of those in heaven

and on earth and under the earth,

and that everyone will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, unto the glory

of God the Father.

 

Therefore does He say:

"He ascended on high and took prisoners captive;

and he gave gifts unto men."

 

Awake, one asleep,

and arise from the dead,

and the Christ will give you light.

 

And he showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming forth

from the throne of God and of the Lamb.

In the midst of the place thereof, and on both sides of the river, was the tree

of life, bearing twelve fruits, yielding its fruit according to each month and

the leaves of the tree for the healing of the nations.

 

But the wise shall shine like the splendour of the firmament and those who

lead the many to righteousness shall be like the stars in the firmament of

heaven unto the ages of ages.

 

 

Amen. Come Lord Jesus, the grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ

be with all the saints. Amen

St. Mark

 

We give Thee thanks, yea, more than thanks, O Lord our God, the Father of our Lord and God and Saviour Jesus Christ, for all Thy goodness at all times and in all places, because Thou hast shielded, rescued, helped, and guided us all the days of our lives, and brought us unto this hour, permitting us gain to stand before Thee in Thy holy place, that we may implore forgiveness of our sins and propitiation to all Thy people. We pray and beseech Thee, merciful God, to grant in Thy goodness that we may spend this holy day and all the time of our lives without sin, in fullness of joy, health, safety, holiness, and reverence of Thee. But all envy, all fear, all temptation, all the influence of Satan, all the snares of wicked men every spirit visible and invisible thereof, do Thou, O Lord, drive away from us, and from Thy Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church each of us holding Thou the head Christ Jesus Our Only Lord and Saviour alone. Bestow upon us, O Lord, what is good and meet. Whatever sin we commit in thought, word, or deed, do Thou in Thy goodness and mercy be pleased to pardon. Leave us not, O Lord, while we hope in Thee; nor lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one and from all his works and minions, through the grace, mercy, and love of Thine only-begotten Son. O Sovereign Lord Christ Jesus, the co-eternal Word of the eternal Father, who wast made in all things like as we are, but without sin, for the salvation of our race; who hast sent forth Thy holy disciples and apostles to proclaim and teach the Gospel of Thy kingdom, and to heal all disease, all sickness among Thy people, be pleased now, O Lord, to send forth Thy light and Thy truth. Enlighten the eyes of our minds, that we may understand Thy divine oracles. Fit us to become hearers, and not only hearers, but doers of Thy word, that we, becoming fruitful, and yielding good fruit from thirty to an hundred fold, may be deemed worthy of the kingdom of heaven. Let Thy mercy speedily overtake us, O Lord. For Thou art the bringer of good tidings, the Saviour and Guardian of our spirits, souls and bodies and we offer glory, thanks, and the “Thrice Holy Hymn” to Thee, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, now, henceforth, and for evermore. Holy God, holy mighty, holy immortal. Holy, holy, holy, O Lord of Sabaoth, the heaven and the earth are full of Thy glory. Hosanna in the highest; blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest, Look down in mercy and compassion, O Lord, and heal the sick among Thy people. May all our brethren who have gone or who are about to go abroad, safely reach their destination in due season. Send down the gracious rain upon the thirsty lands, and make the rivers flow in full stream, according to Thy grace. The fruits of the land do Thou, O Lord, fill with seed and make ripe for the harvest. In peace, courage, justice, and tranquillity preserve the kingdom of Thy servants, all priesthood of the faithful and kings upon the earth, whom Thou hast deemed worthy to reign over this earth. From evil days, from famine and pestilence, from the assault of barbarians, defend, O Lord, this Christ-loving city Thy body Christ Jesus Our Only Lord and Saviour, lowly and worthy of Thy compassion, as Thou didst spare Nineveh of old. For Thou art full of mercy and compassion, and rememberest not the iniquities of men against them. Thou hast said through Thy prophet Isaiah, I will defend this city, to save it for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake. Wherefore we pray and beseech Thee to defend in Thy good mercy this city, for the sake of Thee confessed by patriarchs, prophets, martyrs, disciples, apostles, evangelists and saints from Adam on, Thou who has shown us the way of salvation through the grace, mercy, and love of Thee only-begotten Son Jesus Christ Our Only Lord and Saviour. Through whom and with whom be glory and power to Thee MOST BLESSED LORDYAHWEH GOD ETERNAL Abba Our Father, with Thy all-holy, good, and life-giving Spirit our Paraclete. Guide and direct in all peace from above in Thy Righteousness thekings, armies, magistrates, councils, peoples, and neighborhoods, and all our outgoings and incomings.
O King of Peace Baruch Adonai Yahweh Elohim Melek Olam eth, grant us Thy peace in unity and love. May we be Thine, O Lord; for we know no other God but Thee, and name no other name Baruch Adonai Yahweh Eloheinu Yahweh Echad, Thou YAHWEH, YESHUA, RUACH YAHWEH but Thine Our Father and the Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Give life unto the souls of all of us, and let no deadly sin prevail against us, or against all Thy people.
Look down in mercy and compassion, O Lord, and heal the sick among Thy people. Deliver them and us, O Lord, from sickness and disease, and drive away the spirit of weakness.
Raise up those who have been long afflicted, and heal those who are vexed with unclean spirits.
Have mercy on all who are in prison, or in mines, or on trial, or condemned, or in exile, or crushed by cruel bondage or tribute. Deliver them, O Lord, for Thou art our God, who settest the captives free; who raisest up the downtrodden; who givest hope to the hopeless, and help to the helpless; who liftest up the fallen; who givest refuge to the shipwrecked, and vengeance to the oppressed. Pity, relieve, and restore every Christian soul that is afflicted or wandering. But do Thou, O Lord, the physician of our spirits, souls and bodies, the guardian of all flesh, look down, and by Thy saving power heal all the diseases of spirit, soul and body.
Guide and prosper our brethren who have gone or who are about to go abroad. Whether they travel by land, or river, or lake, by public road, or in whatever way journeying, bring them everywhere to a safe and tranquil haven. Be pleased to be with them by land, sea and air, and restore them in health and joy to joyful and healthful homes.
Ever defend, O Lord, our journey through this life from trouble and storm.
Send down rich and copious showers on the dry and thirsty lands.
Gladden and revive the face of the earth, that it may spring forth and rejoice in the raindrops.
Make the waters ofthe river flow in full stream.
Gladden and revive the face of the earth with the swelling waters.
Fill all the channels of the streams, and multiply the fruits of the earth.
Bless, O Lord, the fruits of the earth, and keep them safe and unharmed. Fill them with seed, and make them ripe for the harvest.
Bless even now, O Lord God Our Father, Thy yearly crown of blessing for the sake of the poor of Thy people, the widow, the orphan, and the stranger, and for the sake of all of us who have our hope in Thee and call upon Thy holy name; for the eyes of all are upon Thee, and Thou givest them bread in due season.
O Thou who givest food to all flesh, fill our hearts with joy and gladness, that at all times, having all sufficiency, we may abound to every good work in Thou Christ Jesus Our Only Lord and Saviour. O Only Sovereign King of kings and Lord of lords, defend the kingdom of Thy servants, we Thine orthodox believers and who love Thee Christ Thy priesthood and kings, whom Thou hast deemed worthy to reign over these lands in peace, courage, and justice.
Subdue under us, O Lord, every enemy and adversary, whether at home or abroad. Gird on Thy shield and armour, and rise to our aid guide us in all things to do what is gracious and pleasing in Thy sight. Draw Thy sword, and help us to fight against them that persecute us. Shield us in the day of battle, and grant that the fruit of our loins one like to us in Thee may sit upon Thy throne with Thee and us.
Be kind to us, O Lord, for the sake of Thy love for Thy Holy and Apostolic Church, all Thy Christ-loving people, that we too in Thy peaceful reign may live a calm and tranquil life, in all reverence and godliness.
O Lord our God, give peace to the souls of our fathers and brethren who have fallen asleep in Jesus, remembering our forefathers of old, our fathers, patriarchs, prophets, apostles, martyrs, confessors, bishops, and the souls of all the holy and just men who have died in the Lord.
Be mindful, O Lord, of the return of the back-sliding, and of every Christian soul that is afflicted and oppressed, and in need of Thy divine mercy and help.
Be mindful, O Lord, of our brethren in captivity. Grant that they may find mercy and compassion with those who have led them captive.
Be mindful also of us, O Lord, Thy sinful and unworthy servants, and blot out our sins in Thy goodness and mercy.
Be mindful also of me, Thy lowly, sinful, and unworthy servant, and in Thy mercy blot out my sins. Be with us, O Lord, who minister unto Thy holy name.
Bless our meetings, O Lord.
Utterly uproot all idolatry all witchcraft from the world.
Crush under our feet Satan and all his minions, and all their wicked influence.
Humble now, as at all times, these enemies of Thy Church Thou and us, unto immediate absolute total complete destruction.
Lay bare their pride.
Speedily show them their weakness.
Bring to naught the wicked plots they contrive against us.
Arise,O Lord, and let Thine enemies be scattered, and let all who hate Thy holy name be put to flight. +
Do Thou bless a thousand times ten thousand Thy faithful and orthodox people while they do Thy holy will.
Deliver the captive; rescue the distressed feed the hungry; comfort the faint-hearted, convert the erring; enlighten the darkened; raise the fallen; confirm the wavering; heal the sick; and guide them all, good Lord, into the way of salvation, and into Thy sacred fold. Deliver us from our iniquities; protect and defend us at all times.

The little child Jesus is already here

The Kings and the shepherds adore without fear

There is much to behold for the wise and the fool:

Saint Joseph, the Virgin; the ox and the mule.

Let us adore the little child

With pleasure and happy cheer;

Let us adore as the Magi do

As the Magi adore Him here.

A child is born in Bethlehem;

Rejoice, therefore, Jerusalem.

Low in the manger lieth He,

Whose kingdom without end shall be...

All glory, Lord, to Thee be done,

Now seen in flesh, theVirgin's Son.[35]

Thou camest down, O heaven's King,

From starry sky,

And in a cave so poor and cold

I see Thee lie.

I see Thee tremble, blessed God;

Why should this be?

Thy sacrifice, O love Divine,

Is all for me.

About the field they piped full right,

Even about the midst of the night;

They saw come down from heaven a light:

Tirle, tirle--so merrily

The shepherds began to blow.[37]

Noel, Noel, Noel,

Tidings good I think to tell.

The boar's head that we bring here,

Betokeneth a prince without peer

Is born today to buy us dear.

Noel, Noel, Noel.

In dulci jubilo

Sing ye, and gladness show!

See our bliss reclining

In praesepio,

The very sun outshining

Matris in gremio.

Alpha es et O,

Alpha es et O.

Thy shining eyes, so blue and light,

Thy tender cheeks, so soft and bright;

I will remain forever Thine,

O dearest Son, O child Divine....

Hajej, nynej, Jesus dear,

Sleep in peace, and do not fear.

We shall bundle you to rest,

Keep you close to our breast.

Hajej, nynej, darling Child,

Son of Mary, Saviour mild.

As Joseph was a-walking,

He heard an angel sing:

This night shall be born

Our heavenly king.

He neither shall be born

In housen or in hall,

Nor in the place of Paradise,

But in an ox's stall.

He neither shall be clothed

In purple nor in pall,

But all in fair linen,

As were babies all..

The gates of Heaven's glory did spring open suddenly

So came we running to the crib,

I and also you,

A beeline into Bethlehem, Hopsa, trala loo:

"O, baby dear, take anything

Of all the little gifts we bring:

Have apples or have butter,

Maybe pears or yellow cheese;

Or would you rather have some nuts,

Or plums, or what you please.

Alleluja, alleluja;

AIle-, alle-, Alleluja."[44]

Now Christmas is here again,

And Christmas is here again,

And Christmas we'll have till Easter.

Then Easter is here again,

And Easter is here again,

And Easter we'll have till Christmas.

Now He is with us forever,

And He is with us forever,

For He is here now and comes again.

Joseph, dearest Joseph mine,

Help me rock my baby fine!

What Gabriel foretold

Is now fulfilled,

Eia, Eia,
