      The Prayer of St. Ephrem the Syrian

      This prayer is read in all the Holy Great Lent, except on Saturdays and Sundays.

      O Lord and Master of my life, a spirit of idleness, despondency, ambition, and idle talking give me not. Prostration.

      But rather a spirit of chastity, humble-mindedness, patience, and love bestow upon me, Thy servant. Prostration.

      Yea, O Lord King, grant me to see my failings and not condemn my brother; for blessed art Thou unto the ages of ages. Amen. Prostration.

      O God, cleanse me, a sinner.

      12 times, with a reverence each time, and then the entire prayer:

      O Lord and Master of my life, a spirit of idleness, despondency, ambition, and idle talking give me not. But rather a spirit of chastity, humble-mindedness, patience, and love bestow upon me, Thy servant. Yea, O Lord King, grant me to see my failings and not condemn my brother; for blessed art Thou unto the ages of ages. Amen. Prostration.

      Having risen from sleep, before any other action, stand reverently, considering thyself to be in the presence of the All-seeing God, and, having made the sign of the Cross, say:

      In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

      Then pause a moment, until all thy senses are calmed and thy thoughts forsake all things earthly; and then make three bows, saying:

      The Prayer of the Publican

      O God, be merciful to me, a sinner. (Thrice)

      The Beginning Prayer

      O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, for the sake of the prayers of Thy most pure Mother and all the saints, have mercy on us. Amen.

      Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee.

      O Heavenly King, The Comforter, Spirit of Truth, Who art everywhere present and fillest all things, Treasury of blessings and Giver of life: Come and abide in us, and cleanse us of every impurity, and save our souls, O Good One.

      Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us. (Thrice)

      Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, both now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

      O Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us.

      O Lord, blot out our sins.

      O Master, pardon our iniquities.

      O Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities for Thy name's sake.

      Lord, have mercy. (Thrice)

      Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, both now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

      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 debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

      Troparia to the Holy Trinity

      Having risen from sleep, we fall down before Thee, O Good One, and the angelic hymn we cry aloud to Thee, O Mighty One. 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 bed and sleep Thou hast raised me up, O Lord: enlighten my mind and heart and open my lips that I may hymn Thee, O Holy Trinity:

      Holy, Holy, Holy art Thou, O God, through the Theotokos, have mercy on us.

      Both now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

      Suddenly the judge shall come, and the deeds of each shall be laid bare; but with fear do we cry at midnight. Holy, Holy, Holy art Thou, O God, through the Theotokos, have mercy on us.

      Lord, have mercy. (Twelve times)

      Prayer of Saint Basil the Great to the Most Holy Trinity

      As I rise from sleep I thank Thee, O Holy Trinity, for through Thy great goodness and patience Thou wast not angered with me, an idler and sinner, nor hast Thou destroyed me in my sins, but hast shown Thy usual love for men, and when I was prostrate in despair, Thou hast raised me to keep the morning watch and glorify Thy power. And now enlighten my mind's eye and open my mouth to study Thy words and understand Thy commandments and do Thy will, and hymn Thee in heartfelt adoration and praise Thy Most Holy Name of Father, Son and Holy Spirit, both now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

      O come let us worship God our King. (Bow)

      O come let us worship and fall down before Christ our King and God. (Bow)

      O come let us worship and fall down before Christ Himself, our King and God. (Bow)

      Psalm 50

      Have mercy on me, O God, according to Thy great mercy; and according to the multitude of Thy compassions blot out my transgression. Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

      For I know mine iniquity, and my sin is ever before me. Against Thee only have I sinned and done this evil before Thee, that Thou mightest be justified in Thy words, and prevail when Thou art judged.

      For behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother bear me. For behold, Thou hast loved truth; the hidden and secret things of Thy wisdom hast Thou made manifest unto me.

      Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be made clean; Thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.

      Thou shalt make me hear joy and gladness; the bones that have been humbled will rejoice.

      Turn Thy face away from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

      Create in me a
