Irmos: Sing into the fiery furnace of the Jewish youths who descended and turned the flame into dew, praise His creations as the Lord and exalt them throughout all ages.
Chorus: Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. (Bow)
Now grant me, the perishing one, Christ, to become a participant in the Heavenly, terrible and holy Mysteries and Your Divine Last Supper, O God, my Savior!
Chorus: Do not cast me away from Your presence and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. (Bow)
Having resorted to Your mercy, O Most Gracious One, I cry out to You with fear: “Abide in me, Savior, and let me abide in You, as You have said.” For behold, trusting in Your mercy, I eat Your body and drink Your blood.
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and always, and forever and ever. Amen.
I tremble, accepting the fire, so as not to be burned like wax and like grass. O terrible mystery! O mercy of God! How do I, dust, partake of the divine Body and Blood and become immortal?
