Glory to You, King, God almighty, for through Your divine and loving providence You have made me, the sinner and unworthy one, to rise from sleep and obtain entrance into Your holy house. Accept, Lord, also the voice of my prayer as You accept those of Your holy and noetic powers; and graciously receive praise, not from my defiled lips, but from a pure heart and humble spirit so that with the bright lamp of my soul, I may be in the company of the wise virgins and glorify You, God the Word, Who are glorified in the Father and the Spirit.
Open the eyes of ours minds to understand Your Gospel teachings.
Implant in us also the fear of your blessed commandments, that trampling down all carnal desires, we may enter upon a spiritual manner of living, both thinking and doing such things that are well pleasing to you.
For you are the illumination of our souls and bodies oh Christ our God, and to you we ascribe glory, together with your Father who is from everlasting, and your all Holy and good and Life-giving Spirit, now and forever, and unto the ages of ages.
