Divine Liturgy of St John Chrysostom
- 81 -
Troparion to St John Chrysostom, Eighth Tone:
Reader:
Grace shining forth from thy mouth like a beacon hath
illumined the universe, and disclosed to the world treasures of
uncovetousness, and shown us the heights of humility; but while
instructing us by Thy words, O Father John Chrysostom, intercede with
the Word, Christ our God, to save our souls.
Glory...
Kontakion, 6th Tone:
From the heavens hast thou received grace, and by thy lips thou dost
teach all to worship the One God in Trinity, O John Chrysostom, all
blessed righteous one. Rightly do we acclaim thee, for thou art a teacher
revealing things divine.
Both now...
O protection of Christians that cannot be put to shame, O Mediation unto
the Creator unfailing: Disdain not the suppliant voices of sinners; but be
thou quick, O good one, to help us who in faith cry unto Thee; hasten to
intercession and speed thou to make supplication, thou who dost ever
protect, O Theotokos, them that honor thee.
Lord, have mercy
12 Times
Priest:
Most Holy Theotokos save us!
Reader:
More honorable than the Cherubim, and beyond compare more
glorious than the Seraphim, thee who without defilement gavest birth to
God the Word, the very Theotokos, thee do we magnify.
Priest:
Glory to Thee, O Christ, our God and our hope, glory
to Thee.
Reader:
Glory... Both now.. Lord have mercy Thrice Father bless!
Priest:
May Christ our true God (Who rose from the dead),
through the intercessions of His most pure Mother; and of
all the Saints, have mercy upon us and save us, for He is
good and the Lover of mankind.
