Priest, the Prayer below the Ambo

O Lord Who dost bless them that bless Thee and sanctify them that put their trust in Thee: Save Thy people and bless Thine inheritance; preserve the fullness of Thy Church, sanctify them that love the beauty of Thy house; do Thou glorify them by Thy divine power, and forsake us not that hope in Thee. Give peace to Thy world, to Thy churches, to the priests, and to all Thy people. For every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from Thee, the Father of lights, and unto Thee do we send up glory and thanksgiving and worship: to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Choir: Amen.

Blessed be the name of the Lord from henceforth and for evermore. (3×)

Priest: The blessing of the Lord be upon you, through His grace and love for mankind, always, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Choir: Amen.

Priest: Glory to Thee, O Christ God, our hope, glory to Thee. Choir: Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, both now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

Lord, have mercy. (3×)

Father (Master), bless. Priest: May Christ our true God, (On Sundays: Who rose from the dead), through the intercessions of His most pure Mother, of the holy and glorious apostles, of our father among the saints, John Chrysostom, archbishop of Constantinople (or Basil the Great, archbishop of Caesarea in Cappadocia), and Saint(s) N.(N.) (whose temple it is), and Saint(s) N.(N.) (whose day it is), of the holy and Righteous Ancestors of God, Joachim and Anna, and of all the saints: have mercy on us and save us, for He is good and the Lover of mankind.
