Book of Needs of the Holy Orthodox Church

Glory. Both now.

Christ God, who from the Virgin, shinest to the world, who hast through her made manifest the sons of light, have mercy thou on us.

Then graduals, tone vi.

Unto heaven have I lifted up mine eyes, unto thee, O Word; have compassion upon me, that I may live to thee.

Have mercy upon us who have been set at nought, appointing us, O Word, to be vessels acceptable unto thee.

Glory.

To the Holy Ghost belongs every all-saving cause: on whomsoever he, through worthiness, doth breathe, he quickly taketh him from earthly things, gives wings, exalteth and appoints his place on high.

Both now, the same.

Then prokimenon, tone vi.

Blessed is the way wherein thou goest to-day, O soul, because a place of rest hath been prepared for thee.
