Here, the Order of Great Compline is resumed:
Priest:
Glory to Thee, O God, our hope, glory to Thee.
Choir:
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy
Spirit, both now and ever, and unto the ages of ages.
Amen. Lord, have mercy.
(Thrice)
Father, bless.
The priest saith aloud, while we prostrate ourselves to the earth (except on Fridays,
when the lesser dismissal is used:)
Priest:
O Master plenteous in mercy, O Lord Jesus Christ our
God: Through the intercessions of our immaculate Lady
Theotokos and Ever-virgin Mary; through the power of the
precious and life-giving Cross; through the mediations of the
honorable, heavenly Bodiless Hosts, of the honorable,
glorious Prophet, Forerunner, and Baptist John; of the holy
glorious, and all-praised apostles; of the holy, glorious, and
victorious martyrs; of our holy and God-bearing fathers,
(the
patron saint of the temple)
; of the holy and Righteous Ancestors of
God Joachim and Anna; of
(the Saints of the day)
and of all the
saints: make our prayer acceptable; grant us the remission
of our sins; shelter us with the shelter of Thy wings; drive
away from us every enemy and adversary; make our life
peaceful, O Lord; have mercy on us and on Thy world, and
save our souls, for Thou art good and the Lover of mankind.
Choir:
Amen.
