(The choir sings the appointed Kontakion and Theotokion Hymns while the Priest prays the Trisagion prayer found in Appendix B)
Priest: O Holy God, You rest in the holy place. You are hymned by the seraphim with the thrice-holy cry, glorified by the cherubim, and worshipped by every heavenly power. Out of nothing You brought all things into being. You have created man after Your own image and likeness, and have adorned him with Your every gift. You give wisdom and understanding to everyone who asks. You do not despise the sinner, but instead have appointed repentance unto salvation. You have graciously granted us, Your humble and unworthy servants, even in this hour to stand before the glory of Your Holy Altar, and to offer worship and praise which are Your due. Master, accept also from the mouths of us sinners the thrice-holy hymn, and watch over us in Your goodness. Forgive us every transgression, both voluntary and involuntary. Sanctify our souls and bodies, and enable us to serve You in holiness all the days of our life, through the intercessions of the holy Theotokos and of all the saints who from the beginning of the world have pleased You.
Deacon: Bless, Master, the time of the Thrice-holy.
Deacon: Let us pray to the Lord.
People: Lord, have mercy.
Priest: For You are holy, O our God, and to You we ascribe glory: to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever...
Deacon: O Lord, save those who fear You, and hear us.
People: O Lord, save those who fear You, and hear us.
Deacon: ...and unto ages of ages.
People: Amen.
