The ORDER of THE GENERAL MOLEBEN

- 7 -

Its Theotokion.

If it be a moleben to the Theotokos this troparion, 4th Tone:

To the Theotokos let us run now most earnestly, we sinners all and
wretched ones, and fall down, in repentance calling from the
depths of our souls: O Lady, come unto our aid, have compassion
upon us; hasten thou for we are lost in a throng of transgressions.
Turn not thy servants away with empty hands, for thee alone do we
have as our only hope.

Twice.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, both
now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

Never, O Theotokos, will we cease to speak of Thy powers,
unworthy as we are. For if thou didst not intercede in prayer, who
would have delivered us from so many dangers? Who would have
kept us free until now? Let us never forsake thee, O Lady, for thou
dost ever save thy servants from all perils.
