The Hymn to the Theotokos
People: In thee rejoiceth, O thou who art full of grace,
all creation, the angelic assembly, and the race of man;
O sanctified temple and noetical paradise, praise of
virgins, of whom God was incarnate, and became a
child, He that was before the ages, even our God; for of
thy body a throne He made, and thy womb more
spacious than the heavens did He form. In thee rejoiceth,
O thou who art full of grace, all creation: glory to thee.
???:
All make a prostration, if it be a weekday, but not it be Great Feast of
the Lord or the Theotokos.
And the priest prayeth:
Priest:
For the holy Prophet, Forerunner, and
Baptist John; the holy and all-praised apostles; of
Saint
(s) N. (N.)
whose memory we also celebrate;
and for all Thy saints: through whose intercessions
do Thou visit us, O God
Here the priest commemorateth whom he will of the living and the
dead; for the living however he saith:
Priest:
For the salvation, visitation, remission of sins
