ODE VI

Eirmos: Whirled about in the abyss of sin, I appeal to the unfathomable abyss of Thy compassion: From corruption raise me up, O God. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. O Saviour, sanctify my mind, my soul, my heart, and my body, and vouchsafe me uncondemned, O Master, to approach the fearful Mysteries. Cast me not away from Thy presence, and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me. Grant that I may be rid of passions, and have the assistance of Thy grace, and strengthening of life by the communion of Thy Holy Mysteries, O Christ. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, both now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

O Holy Word of God and God, sanctify all of me as I now come to Thy divine Mysteries, through the prayers of Thy holy Mother.

Lord, have mercy. (3×)

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, both now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
