DOXOLOGY
Glory to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, both now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
FIRST ANTIPHON
Bless the Lord, O my Soul; blessed art Thou, O Lord.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me bless His holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all that He hath done for these. Who is gracious unto all thine iniquities,
Who healeth all thine infirmities.
Who redeemeth thy life from corruption,
Who crowneth thee with mercy and compassion.
Who fulfilleth thy desire with good things;
Thy youth shall be renewed as the eagle’s.
Compassionate and merciful is the Lord,
Long-suffering and plenteous in mercy.
SECOND ANTIPHON
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
Praise the Lord, O my soul. I will praise the Lord in my life,
I will chant unto my God for as long as I have my being.
Trust ye not in princes, in the sons of men,
In whom there is no salvation.
His spirit shall go forth, and he shall return unto his earth.
In that day all his thoughts shall perish.
Blessed is he of whom the God of Jacob is his help,
Whose hope is in the Lord his God,
Who hath made heaven and the earth, the sea and all that is therein. Who keepeth truth unto eternity, Who executeth judgment for the wronged, Who giveth food unto the hungry. The Lord looseth the fettered; The Lord maketh wise the blind; the Lord setteth aright the fallen; The Lord loveth the righteous; the Lord preserveth the proselytes. He shall adopt for His own the orphan and widow,
And the way of sinners shall He destroy.
The Lord shall be king unto eternity; thy God, O Zion, Unto generation and generation.
Both now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
Only-Begotten Son and Word of God, Thou Who art immortal, And didst deign for our salvation to become incarnate
Of the holy Theotokos and Ever-virgin Mary,
Without change becoming man, and Who wast crucified, O Christ God, Trampling down death by death: Thou Who art one of the Holy Trinity, Glorified together with the Father and the Holy Spirit, save us.

THIRD ANTIPHON
In Thy kingdom remember us, O Lord, when Thou comest in Thy kingdom.
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God.
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you,
And shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in the heavens.
~O come let us worship and bow down before Christ. O Son of God, Who didst rise from the dead, save us who sing to Thee: Alleluia!

PRAYER AND CREED
The Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit; the Trinity one in essence and indivisible.
-I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth and of all things visible and invisible.
-And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Only-begotten, begotten of the Father before all ages; Light of Light, true God of true God; begotten, not made; of one essence with the Father, by Whom all things were made;
-Who for us men and for our salvation came down from the heavens, and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became man;
-And was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried;
-And arose again on the third day according to the Scriptures;
-And ascended into the heavens, and sitteth at the right hand of the Father;
-And shall come again, with glory, to judge both the living and the dead; Whose kingdom shall have no end.
-And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of life; Who proceedeth from the Father; Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; Who spake by the prophets.
-In One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.
-I confess one baptism for the remission of sins.
-I look for the resurrection of the dead,
-And the life of the age to come. Amen.

PSALM 33
I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise shall continually be in my mouth. In the Lord shall my soul be praised; let the meek hear and be glad.
O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together.
I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my tribulations. Come unto Him, and be enlightened, and your faces shall not be ashamed. This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his tribulations. The angel of the Lord will encamp round about them that fear Him, and will deliver them. O taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man that hopeth in Him. O fear the Lord, all ye His saints; for there is no want to them that fear Him. Rich men have turned poor and gone hungry;
But they that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good thing.
Come ye children, hearken unto me;
I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
What man is there that desireth life, who loveth to see good days?
Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
Turn away from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and His ears are opened unto their supplication. The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, utterly
To destroy the remembrance of them from the earth.
The righteous cried, and the Lord heard them,
And He delivered them out of all their tribulations.
The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a contrite heart,
And He will save the humble of spirit.
Many are the tribulations of the righteous,
And the Lord shall deliver them out of them all.
The Lord keepeth all their bones, not one of them shall be broken.
The death of sinners is evil, and they that hate the righteous shall do wrong.
The Lord will redeem the souls of His servants, and none of them will do wrong that hope in Him. MANY YEARS

God grant them many years, God grant them many years,
God grant them many blessed years.
In health and salvation, in health and salvation, God grant them many blessed years!
