On Monday and Wednesday evenings, in the Second Tone:
Enlighten mine eyes, O Christ God, lest at any time I sleep
unto death, lest at any time mine enemy say: I have
prevailed against him.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
Be my soulÁ-?s helper, O God, for I pass through the midst
of many snares; deliver me out of them, and save me, O
Good One, for Thou art the Lover of Mankind.
Both now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
Theotokion:
Seeing that we have no boldness on account of our many
sins, do thou beseech Him that was born of thee, O Virgin
Theotokos for the supplication of a mother availeth much
to win the Master's favor. Disdain not the prayers of
sinners, O all-pure one, for merciful and mighty to save is
He Who deigned also to suffer for our sake.
