Morning Prayers

Bought this prayer book at the Monastery of the Great Meteoron.

(After rising from sleep, stand with reverence and fear off God, make the sign of the cross and say:)

In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen

Glory to you, our God, glory to you.

Heavenly King, comforter, the Spirit of truth, who are present everywhere filling all things,

Treasury of god things and Giver of life, come and dwell in us,

Cleanse us of every stain, and save our souls, glorious Lord.

Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy, Immortal, have mercy on us (3). Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and forever and to the ages of ages. Amen. All holy Trinity, have mercy on us.

Lord, forgive us our sins. Master, pardon our transgressions. Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities for your name's sake. Lord have mercy (3). Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and forever and to the ages of ages. Amen.

Our Father, who art in heaven,'hallowed be thy name.'thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread,

and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and forever and to the ages of ages. Amen.

Having risen from sleep, we fall down before you, O good One, and sing to you, mighty One, the angelic hymn: Holy, holy, holy art thou, O God. Through the prayers of the Theotokos, have mercy on us.

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Having aroused me from sleep and bed, O Lord, enlighten my mind and open my heart and lips that I may sing to you, Holy, holy, holy, art thou, O God. through the prayers of Theotokos, have mercy on us. Now and forever and to the ages of ages. Amen.

Suddenly the judge will come and every one's deeds will be revealed. But with awe we cry out in the middle of the night: Holy, holy, holy art thou, o God, through prayers of the Theotokos, have mercy on us.

Note: Theotokos is the name given to Mary, mother of Jesus in the Orthodox tradition.
