It is meet and right that we should laud thee,
bless thee, praise thee, give thanks unto thee,
and adore thee in all places of thy dominion:
for thou art God ineffable, incomprehensible,
invisible, inconceivable; thou art from
everlasting and art changeless, thou, and thine
Only-begotten Son, and thy Holy Spirit Thou
from nothingness hast called us into being;
and when we had fallen away from thee, thou
didst raise us up again ; and thou hast not
ceased to do all things until thou hadst
brought us back to heaven, and hadst
endowed us with thy kingdom which is to
come. For all which things we give thanks unto
thee, and thine Only-begotten Son, and thy
Holy Spirit; for all the things whereof we know,
and whereof we know not; for all thy benefits
bestowed upon us, both manifest and unseen.
And we render thanks unto thee for this
ministry which thou dost deign to accept at
our hands, although before thee stand
thousands of Archangels and myriads of
Angels, with the Cherubim, and Seraphim, six-
winged, many-eyed, who soar aloft, borne on
their pinions.
Priest: Singing the triumphal hymn,
shouting, crying aloud and saying:
Choir: Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord of Sabaoth;
heaven and earth are full of Thy glory.
Hosanna in the highest! Blessed is He
that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest!
Priest praying secretly:
And we also, O Lord who lovest man-kind, in
company with these blessed Powers do cry
aloud and say: Holy art thou, and all-holy thou,
and thine Only-begotten Son, and thy Holy
Spirit; holy and all-holy and majestic is thy
glory. Who hast so loved thy world that thou
gavest thine Only- begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth on him should not perish,
but should have ever-lasting life; who, when
he had come and had performed all the
dispensation for us, in the night in which he
was given up, - in the which, rather, he did give
himself for the life of the world, - took bread in
his holy and pure and sinless hands; and when
he had given thanks, and blessed it, and so
sanctified it, he gave it to his holy disciples and
apostles, saying :
Priest: Take, eat: this is My Body,
which is broken for you for the
remission of sins.
Choir: Amen.
Priest secretly:
And in like manner, after supper he took
the cup, saying:
Priest: Drink of it, all of you: this is My
Blood of the New Testament, which is
shed for you and for many, for the
remission of sins.
Choir: Amen.
Priest secretly:
Bearing in remembrance, therefore, this
commandment of salva-tion, and all those
things which came to pass for us ; the
Cross, the Grave, the Resurrection on the
third day, the Ascension into Heaven, the
Sitting on the right hand, the Second and
glorious Coming-again:
Priest: Offering unto Thee Thine own
of Thine own, in behalf of all and for
all.
Choir:
We praise Thee, we bless Thee, we
give thanks unto Thee, O Lord; and
we pray unto Thee, O our God.
Priest praying secretly:
Again we offer unto thee this reasonable
and unbloody service. And we beseech
and implore thee, and offer our
supplications unto thee, that thou wilt
send thy Holy Spirit upon us, and upon
these Gifts here spread forth. O Lord,
who at the Third Hour didst send down
upon thine Apostles thy Holy Spirit: Take
not the same from us, O Good One, but
renew it in us who make our
supplications unto thee.
Bless, Master, the Holy Bread, And make
this bread the precious Body of thy
Christ, Amen.
And make that which is in this chalice the
precious Blood of thy Christ , Amen.
Transmuting them by thy Holy Spirit,
Amen, Amen, Amen.
That to those who shall partake thereof they may
be unto soberness of soul, unto the remission of
sins, unto the fellowship of thy Holy Spirit, unto the
fulfilling of the kingdom of Heaven, and unto
boldness toward thee; and not unto judgment or
unto condemnation.
And again we offer unto thee this our reasonable
service, for all thy servants departed this life before
us in the faith; for our ancestors, fathers, the
Patriarchs, Prophets, Apostles, Preachers,
Evangelists, Martyrs, Confessors, Ascetics; and for
every righteous soul who hath died in the faith:
Track 11. The Angel cried…
Priest: Especially for our most holy, most pure, most
blessed, glorious Lady Theotokos and Ever-Virgin
Mary.
Choir: The Angel cried to her that is full of grace,
‘Pure Virgin, rejoice!, And again I say, Rejoice! For
your Son has risen from the tomb on the third day’.
Shine, shine, O New Jerusalem, for the glory of the
Lord has risen upon you; dance now and be glad, O
Sion, and you too rejoice, pure Mother of God, at
the arising of him to whom you gave birth.
Track 12. “Our Father”
Strochnoy chant.
Priest or Bishop: And vouchsafe us,
O Master, with boldness and
without condemnation to dare to
call upon Thee the heavenly God as
Father, and to say:
Choir: Our Father, who art in the
Heavens, 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 debts, as we forgive our
debtors; and lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from the
evil one.
Priest or Bishop: 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 the ages of ages.
Choir: Amen.
Track 13. “One is Holy, One is
Lord”

Priest : Peace be unto all.

Choir: And to thy spirit.
Priest: Let us bow our heads unto
the Lord.

compassions and love for mankind

Whom Thou art blessed, together
with Thy most holy, and good, and
life-creating Spirit, now and ever,
and unto the ages of ages.
Choir: Amen.
Priest: Let us attend! Holy Things
are for the holy.

Jesus Christ, to the glory of God the
Father. Amen.

O Lord, Grant many years and
have mercy on the most devout
Tzar and Grand Duke Alexei and
his pious Tzarina and Grand
Duchess Nathalia, on their noble
sons and pious Princesses, save
our Patriarch Pitirim and all
Orthodox christians. Lord,
preserve them for many years.

(The original text of the Polychronion

is dedicated to Peter I. The music was
composed around 1723, after Peter
became Emperor and abolished the
Patriarchy. The original manuscript
lacks the upper part. This voice was
reconstructed. The changes in the text
do not affect the musical structure of
the Polychronion).
