It is truly meet to bless thee, the Theotokos, ever-blessed and mostblameless, and Mother of our God. More honourable than the Cherubim, and beyond compare glorious
than the Seraphim, who without corruption gavest birth to God the Word, the very Theotokos, thee do we magnify.

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. Thrice. Father (Master), bless.
