Now seeing, my soul, the honest Gifts offered, reject all vain thoughts, and sing with fear: Even the Cherubim secretly form, and the life-giving Trinity sings the thrice-holy hymn, let us now put aside all worldly cares. As if we were to raise up the King of all, the angels invisibly darinoshima chinmi. Alleluia" (three times). Glory to Thee, Lord Jesus Christ, our God, the only immortal Lover of mankind! Glory to Thee, who came from the bosom of the Fathers and from the heavenly glory, and from the Holy Virgin became human and conformed to the former flesh of our humility, and made us conformable to Thy glory! Glory to You, who gloriously entered Jerusalem on the foal of a donkey, and in it endure wounds and crucifixion and bring death to those who were willing, for our salvation!
Grant now, Christ, tears to my combs, that I may wash away the filth of my iniquities, and just as You vouchsafed Your most pure Body to Joseph and Nicodemus, who took it down from the Cross, honestly and with fear; bow down, for all Your looks and favors it is worthy to give thanks, and with sighing confess to You, Save to my God. But You, O Merciful One, grant me this acceptance from me, grant me a good end to life, and grant me, on the day of judgment, to stand at Your right hand and hear Your good voice: come, blessed of My Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you. Amen. Having now seen the Honest Gifts being transferred, reject, my soul, all vain thoughts and sing with fear: Like the Cherubim, who secretly form and sing the thrice-holy hymn to the Life-Giving Trinity, let us now put aside all worldly cares! As if we were to raise up the King of all, the angels invisibly brought us to the chinmi. Hallelujah (three times). Glory to Thee, Lord our God, Jesus Christ, the only immortal Lover of mankind!
Glory to You, who found from the nature of God the Father and His Heavenly Glory and from the Most Holy Virgin became human and humbled Himself to the perception of our flesh, in order to lift it, in Your face, to the height of Your heavenly Glory! Glory to You, who entered Jerusalem with glory, sitting on a young donkey, and then, there, deigning to endure wounds and crucifixion and accept death, only for our salvation! Grant, now, my Savior, tears to my eyes; May you wash away with them all the impurity of my iniquities, and, as You vouchsafed Joseph and Nicodemus, having taken down Your most pure body from the cross, to transfer it with reverent awe to the tomb, so vouchsafe me, who now see these Glorious and Divine Gifts being transferred, to prostrate myself with trepidation before You, Sitting on the heavenly Throne, worthily thanking for the Divine Your providence and all your good will towards me, and with heartfelt sighing I lay down all my sins and guilt before You, as before my Savior and God!
You, O Merciful One, having accepted this, grant me the end of a Christian life and grant me, on the day of the Last Judgment, to stand at Your right hand and hear Your joyful words: Come, blessed of My Father, and inherit the Kingdom prepared for you! Yes it will!

The Cathedral of Saints Angel and Archangel with all the heavenly powers sings to You and says: Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts, fill heaven and earth with Your Glory! Hosanna in the highest! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest! Save me, Who art thou King in the highest, save me and sanctify, Source of sanctification: for from Thee all creation is strengthened; The countless people in heaven, worshiping you with trepidation, unceasingly sing the thrice-holy hymn; I am unworthy of you, unapproachable to him who sits in the light. Everyone is terrified of him, I pray: enlighten my mind, cleanse my heart, and open my lips, so that I may worthily sing to You: Holy, Holy, Holy art thou, Lord, unto the endless ages of ages. Amen. The Council of Holy Angels and Archangels, with all the heavenly Powers, glorifies You, crying: Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord Almighty, who filled heaven and earth with His glory! Salvation from above! Blessed is he who walks in the Name of the Lord! Salvation from above! Save me too: for You are the King of the Highest! Save and sanctify - as the source of sanctification, from Which all creations (earth and heaven) receive strength!
The countless heavenly host, worshiping You with awe, unceasingly sings the Trisagion of praise; like him, I too, unworthy, dare to pray to You, Who sits with glory in the inaccessible light, Whom even all the inhabitants of heaven are terrified of! Enlighten my mind, purify my heart and perfect my lips - in order to dare to worthily sing to You: Holy, Holy, Holy - You are, Lord, to the endless ages of ages. - Truly!
