Iluminated Mortal Spiriteds

Blessed are You, O Lord, teach me Your statutes.
The choir of the saints has found the fountain of life and the door of
Paradise.
May I also find the way through repentance, I am the sheep that was lost, call me up to You, O Savior, and save me.
Blessed are You, O Lord, teach me Your statutes.
You who did fashion me of old out of nothingness, and with Your Image Divine did honor me;
But because of the transgressions of Your commandments, did return me again to the earth from whence I was
taken;
Lead me back to be refashioned into that ancient beauty of Your
likeness.
Blessed are You, O Lord, teach me Your statutes.
I am the image of Your unutterable glory, though I bear the scars of
my stumblings.
Have compassion upon me, the works of Your hands, O sovereign Lord, and cleanse me through Your loving-kindness;
And the homeland of my heart's desire bestow on me, by making me a
citizen of Paradise.
Blessed are You, O Lord, teach me Your statutes.
Give rest O God to the souls of Your servants, and appoint for them a
place in Paradise;
Where the choirs of the saints, O Lord, and the just will shine forth like stars;
To Your servants that are sleeping now give rest, overlooking all their offenses.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
The triune radiance of the One Godhead with reverent songs
acclaiming, let us cry;
Holy are You, O eternal Father, and Son also eternal, and Spirit Divine;
shine with Your light on us who with faith adore You, and from the eternal fire rescue us.
Now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
Hail, O gracious Lady, who in the flesh bears God for the salvation of all;
And through whom the human race has found salvation;
Through You may we find Paradise, Theotokos, our Lady pure and blessed.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia; Glory to You, our God.
