GLORY TO THEE, OUR GOD, GLORY TO THEE. O heavenly King, O Comforter, the Spirit of Truth, who art in all places & fillest all things; Treasury of good things & Giver of life: Come & dwell in us & cleanse us from every stain, & save our souls, O gracious Lord.

Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal: have mercy on us.

I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

O send out thy light & thy truth, that they may lead me, And bring me unto thy holy hill, & to thy dwelling.

I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: And in thy fear | will worship toward thy holy temple.

Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of my enemies;

Make thy way straight before me, that with a clear mind | may glorify thee forever,

One Divine Power worshipped in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.
