Horologion
Matins (not at a Vigil)
If it is a Lenten service, use the order on the next page. But if it is outside of Lent (and also on
Saturdays and some festal days within Lent), use the following order.
Reader: It is good to give praise unto the Lord, and to chant unto Thy name, O
Most High, to proclaim in the morning Thy mercy, and Thy truth by night.
Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us.
Thrice.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, both now and ever,
and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
O Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us. O Lord, blot out our sins. O Master,
pardon our iniquities. O Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities for Thy name's
sake.
Lord have mercy.
Thrice.
Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, both now and ever,
and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
Our Father, Who art in the Heavens, 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 debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
Priest: For Thine is...
Reader: Amen.
Then we sing the appointed dismissal Troparia.
Then the Augmented Litany.
Priest: Wisdom!
Choir: Father, Bless!
Priest: He that is, is blessedÁ-¬
Choir: Amen. Establish, O God, the holy Orthodox Faith of Orthodox
Christians, unto ages of ages.
And the reader immediately begins the first hour.
