Divine Liturgy of St John Chrysostom - The Anaphora
- 66 -
The First Prayer of the Anaphora
Priest:
It is meet and right to hymn Thee, to bless
Thee, to praise Thee, to give thanks unto Thee, to
worship Thee in every place of thy dominion, for
Thou art God inexpressible, incomprehensible,
invisible, unattainable, ever-existing, eternally the
same, Thou and Thine Only-begotten Son and Thy
Holy Spirit. Thou didst call us from nonbeing into
being, and when we had fallen away, Thou didst
raise us up again, and didst not cease to do all
things until Thou hadst brought us up to heaven,
and hadst bestowed upon us Thy kingdom which is
to come. Á+-
