The Great Canon Á-? On Thursday of the First Week - Page 20 of 20
To The Trinity:
Let us glorify the Father, exalt the Son, and
faithfully worship the Divine Spirit, inseparable Trinity, Unity
in essence, as the Light and Lights, the Life and Lives, giving
life and light to the ends of the earth.
Now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
Theotokion:
Protect thy city, spotless Mother of God, for in thee it
faithfully reigns, and in thee is made strong, and through
thee it conquers and routs every trial and temptation, and
spoils its foes and rules its subjects.
And again the Eirmos:
Ineffable is the childbearing of a seedless conception,
unsullied the pregnancy of a Virgin Mother, for the
birth of God renews natures. So in all generations we
magnify thee in orthodox fashion as Mother and Bride
of God.
Then the rest of Great Compline.
