For him that now cometh to holy illumination, and for his salvation, let us pray to the Lord.
That he may be manifested a son of light, and an inheritor of eternal good things, let us pray to the Lord.
That he may be planted with, and become a partaker of the death and resurrection of Christ our God, let us pray to the Lord.
That he may preserve the garment of baptism, and the earnest of the Spirit undefiled and unblameable in the terrible day of Christ our God, let us pray to the Lord.
That this water may be to him the bath of regeneration, unto the forgiveness of sins, and the putting on of incorruption, let us pray to the Lord.
That the Lord God may hearken unto the voice of our prayer, let us pray to the Lord.
That he may deliver him and us from all affliction, passion, and want, let us pray to the Lord.
Help us, save us, have mercy....
Commemorating our most holy, most pure....
And while the deacon is saying these, the priest saith this prayer to himself secretly.
