Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name; Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the Kingdom, and the power and the glory of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Having arisen from sleep, we bow down before Thee, O Blessed One, and sing to Thee, O Mighty One, the Angelic Hymn: Holy, holy, holy, art Thou, O God. Through the Theotokos have mercy on us.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
From my bed and sleep, Thou hast raised me: O Lord, enlighten my mind and my heart, and open my lips that I may praise Thee, O Holy Trinity: Holy, holy, holy, art Thou, O God. Through the Theotokos have mercy on us.
Both now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Suddenly the Judge shall come, and the deeds of each shall be revealed; but with fear we cry out in the middle of the night: Holy, holy, holy, art Thou, O God. Through the Theotokos have mercy on us.Lord, have mercy.

Arising from sleep I thank Thee, O Holy Trinity, because of the abundance of Thy goodness and long-suffering Thou wast not angry with me, lazy and sinful as I am; neither hast Thou destroyed me in my transgressions: but in Thy compassion Thou hast raised me up as I lay in despair; that at the dawn I may sing the glory of Thy Majesty. Do Thou now enlighten the eyes of my understanding, open my mouth to receive Thy words, teach me Thy commandments. Help me to do Thy will, confessing Thee from my heart, singing and praising Thine all holy Name: of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
THE NICENE CREED
I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the Only-Begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all ages. Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten not created, of one essence with the Father, through Whom all things were made.
For us and for our salvation, He came down from Heaven and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit, and the Virgin Mary, and became man.
He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and He suffered and was buried.
On the third day He rose according to the Scriptures.
He ascended into Heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead. His Kingdom will have no end.
And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life, Who proceeds from the Father, Who together with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified. Who spoke through the prophets.
In one, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.
I acknowledge one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
I expect the resurrection of the dead.
And the life of the ages to come. Amen.
We bless Thee, O God most high and Lord of mercies, Who always works great and mysterious deeds for us; glorious, wonderful, and numberless; Who provides us with sleep as a rest from our infirmities, and as a repose for our bodies tired by labor. We thank Thee that Thou hast not destroyed us in our transgressions, but in Thy love for mankind, Thou hast raised us up as we lay in despair, that we may glorify Thy Majesty. We entreat Thine infinite goodness, enlighten the eyes of our understanding and raise up our minds from the heavy sleep of indolence. Open our mouths and fill them with Thy praise, that we may unceasingly sing and confess Thee, Who art God glorified in all and by all, the Eternal Father, the Only-Begotten Son, and the All-Holy, Good and Life-Giving Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
