Having built the whole Church with the Spirit as architect, O
Apostles of Christ, bless Christ in it throughout the ages.

Holy Apostles, pray for us.

By blowing the trumpet of the dogmas, the Apostles have
overthrown all the delusion and error of idolatry, and exalted
Christ throughout all ages.
Refrain:
Holy Apostles, pray for us.
6.
O Apostles, noble company, guardians of the world, and
citizens of heaven, deliver from dangers those who ever
praise you.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy
Spirit:
To The Trinity:
Triune, all-radiant God, co-glorified and co-
enthroned Nature, Father Almighty, Son and Divine Spirit, I
sing of Thee for ever.
Now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
Theotokion:
Let us, O you peoples, unceasingly sing of the
Mother of God, as an honored and sublime throne, who
alone after childbirth is Mother and Virgin.
