likeness, and hast adorned him with Thine every
gift; Who givest wisdom and understanding to him
that asketh, and Who disdainest not him that
sinneth, but hast appointed repentance unto
salvation; Who hast vouchsafed us, Thy lowly and
unworthy servants, to stand even in this hour
before the glory of Thy holy altar, and to offer the
worship and glory due unto Thee: Do Thou Thyself,
O Master, accept even from the lips of us sinners
the thrice-holy hymn, and visit us in Thy goodness.
Pardon us every sin, voluntary and involuntary;
sanctify our souls and bodies, and grant us to
serve Thee in holiness all the days of our life,
through the intercessions of the holy Theotokos,
and of all the saints, who from ages past have
been pleasing unto Thee. For holy art Thou, O our
God, and unto Thee do we send up glory: to the
Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now
and ever, and unto the ages of ages.
