Heavenly King, the Comforter, Spirit of Truth, who art everywhere and fillest all things, Treasury of blessings and Giver of life, come dwell within us, cleanse us from all our sins and save our souls, O gracious Lord.   From Easter until Ascension leave out Glory to Thee and Heavenly King and instead say three times Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and upon those in the tombs bestowing life. From Ascension until Pentecost, simply make the sign of the cross — In the Name of the Father — before continuing as usual with:   X Holy God, holy Mighty, holy Immortal, have mercy upon us. X Holy God, holy Mighty, holy Immortal, have mercy upon us. X Holy God, holy Mighty, holy Immortal, have mercy upon us.   X Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, both now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

UR X Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
Lord, have mercy. (12 times) X Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, both now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen. X O come, let us worship God our King. X O come, let us worship and bow down before Christ, our King and our God. X O come, let us worship and bow down before Christ Himself, our King and our God.

Psalm 50 (51)

AVE mercy upon me, O God, after thy great goodness : according to the multitude of thy mercies do away mine offences.
2. Wash me throughly from my wickedness : and cleanse me from my sin.
3. For I acknowledge my faults : and my sin is ever before me.
4. Against thee only have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight : that thou mightest be justified in thy saying, and clear when thou art judged.
5. Behold, I was shapen in wickedness : and in sin hath my mother conceived me.
6. But lo, thou requirest truth in the inward parts: and shalt make me to understand wisdom secretly.
7. Thou shalt purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean : thou shalt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8. Thou shalt make me hear of joy and gladness : that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
9. Turn thy face from my sins : and put out all my misdeeds.
10. Make me a clean heart, O God : and renew a right spirit within me.
11. Cast me not away from thy presence : and take not thy holy Spirit from me.
12. O give me the comfort of thy help again : and stablish me with thy free Spirit.
13. Then shall I teach thy ways unto the wicked : and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
14. Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou that art the God of my health : and my tongue shall sing of thy righteousness.
15. Thou shalt open my lips, O Lord : and my mouth shall shew thy praise.
16. For thou desirest no sacrifice, else would I give it thee : but thou delightest not in burnt-offerings.
17. The sacrifice of God is a troubled spirit : a broken and contrite heart, O God, shalt thou not despise.
18. O be favourable and gracious unto Sion : build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
19. Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousness, with the burnt-offerings and oblations : then shall they offer young bullocks upon thine altar.

[X Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, both now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

X Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, glory to thee, O God.
X Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, glory to thee, O God.
X Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, glory to thee, O God. ]

Creed.

AVE mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us, for we have no defence: this prayer do we as sinners offer Thee as Master, have mercy on us.
X Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
Lord, have mercy upon us, for we have hoped in Thee. Be not angry with us greatly nor remember our iniquities, but have mercy on us now for Thou art compassionate and deliver us from our enemies. For Thou art our God and we Thy people; all are the works of Thy hands and we call upon Thy name.
Both now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
Open unto us the doors of compassion, O blessed virgin Mother of God, for hoping in thee we will not perish, but through thee will we be delivered from all adversities, for thou art the salvation of the Christian race.

T is truly meet to glorify thee who hast borne God, the ever-blessed, immaculate and the Mother of our God. More honourable than the cherubim and beyond compare more glorious than the seraphim art thou, who without corruption gavest birth to God the World. Thee, truly the Mother of God, we magnify.

Glory to Thee, O Christ God our hope, glory to Thee.

X Glory, etc. Now and ever, etc. Lord, have mercy, thrice. O Lord, bless.

X Through the prayers of our holy fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy upon us. Amen.

The end and to God be the glory.
