Choir. Amen.

Then the present troparia, tone vi.

Now present is the time that halloweth all, and the just Judge awaiteth us. Then turn thyself to penitence, O soul, exclaiming, as the harlot did, with tears, O Lord, be merciful to me.

Thou, who to-day the healing fountain in the Virgin’s all-revered temple hast with waters shower’d, dost with the sprinkling of thy blessing quell the ailments of the weak, O Christ, physician of our bodies and our souls.

A virgin who no nuptials knew thou didst bring forth, and thou, unwedded mother, virgin didst remain, God-bearing Mary: O pray Christ our God that we be sav’d.

Most pure God-bearing Virgin, do thou direct our works, and pray for pardon of our trespasses, as we the angelic song upraise,

Holy God, holy mighty one, holy immortal one, have mercy upon us.

And it is sung as customarily, and, after the trisagion, the deacon saith, Let us attend.

Priest. Peace to all.

Choir. And to thy spirit.
