On Lord, I have cried…, 6 stichera: 3 of the feast, in Tone IV: Special Melody: Called from on high…—

This is the day of joy and gladness! Today the Holy Spirit hath appeared to the sacred disciples from on high, sent by the Father in the form of fire, and He hath enlightened all. He hath shown fishers to be recounters and wise men, as the divinely eloquent Luke hath written, filling all things with a compelling spirit. Wherefore, marveling with faith, we glorify the great mercy and extreme condescension of Christ our God.

We celebrate holy Pentecost, and the power of the Spirit, the true joy, the perfection of godly hope, the mysteries of Him Who hath appeared unto us from out of time. Wherefore, we cry out to Thee: O Word and Savior, Thou Creator of all, take not Thy Spirit away from us, but send Him down from heaven at the entreaties of Thy holy and most glorious apostles, and grant peace unto our souls, we pray.

The animate heavens declare today the mighty works of the Savior, and have passed through the whole world, to proclaim clearly the divine power of the Comforter; and they enlightened all creation by their teaching that all hymn the one, indivisible Trinity, Who is in three Persons without confusion. Wherefore, with faith we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit, which was made manifest from on high and enlighteneth the ends of the earth.

And 3 stichera from the Menaion.

Glory…, Now & ever…, in Tone VI—

Having Christ God as a comforter before the Father, with faith let us worship the Holy Spirit, that other Comforter, Who hath come to us on earth today.

Then, O gladsome Light…

Aposticha stichera, in Tone I: Special Melody: O all-praised martyrs…—

Let us theologize the Holy Spirit, Who proceedeth from the Father and is glorified in the Son, by Whom all things are upborne and upheld, and are sustained with life, and live and abide, and are saved. O unapproachable Comforter, send peace to Thy world!

Stichos: Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.

The Holy Spirit, the Source of all goodness, hath come essentially, to fill the ends of the earth with heavenly power and divine goodness for the sake of the apostles. Unto. Him let us cry out: O ineffable Comforter, grant peace to Thy world!

Stichos: Cast me not away from Thy presence, and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me.

God the Holy Spirit is known to be conjoined and equally enthroned with the Father and the Word: He shineth forth as all-perfect Light from Light, from the unoriginate, perfect Father, and passeth forth through the Son. Unto Him let us cry out: O Comforter, Bestower of life, grant peace to Thy world!

Glory…, Now & ever…, in Tone VIII—

When Thou didst send Thy Spirit, O Lord, as the apostles were sitting, the Hebrew children, beholding this, were filled with awe, for they heard things spoken in other, strange tongues, as the Spirit imparted to them; for the ignorant were made wise, netting the nations for the Faith, and with eloquence they gave utterance to things divine. Wherefore, we cry out to Thee: O Lord Who didst appear on earth and save us from delusion, glory to Thee!

Then, Now lettest Thou Thy servant depart…

Troparion, and dismissal.

After the first chanting of the Psalter, this sessional hymn, in Tone VIII: Special Melody: Thy tomb, O Savior…—

Lo! the prophecies of the prophets are fulfilled! For the Comforter Who, as God, concealed them with rays of obscurity, to be revealed in future times, hath now richly poured Himself forth upon the apostles, and through them upon those who worship the uncreated Trinity with faith.

Glory…, Now & ever…: The foregoing is repeated.

After the second chanting of the Psalter, this sessional hymn, in Tone VIII: Special Melody: That which was mystically commanded…—

Those who loved the Savior were filled with joy; those who before were fearful received boldness: for the Holy Spirit descended from on high today upon the dwelling of the disciples, and each spake to the people in other tongues; for visible tongues, like fire, were meted out, and this did not burn them, but instead bedewed them.

Glory…, Now & ever…: The foregoing is repeated.

Aposticha stichera, in Tone VI: Special Melody: On the third day…—

Descending upon the disciples, the most Holy Spirit, Who is consubstantial with the Father and the Son, made tongues of fire, enlightening with divine grace those made of clay.

Stichos: Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.

Renew Thou in us the most Holy Spirit, Whom Thou didst send of old to Thy disciples, O compassionate God, strengthening them to fulfill in the world Thy saving desires.

Stichos: Cast me not away from Thy presence, and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me.

O Comforter, Who once spake in the prophets, Thou hast now made the divine apostles heavens declaring the glory of God. Through them grant us cleansing and great mercy.

Glory…, Now & ever…, in Tone II—

Bending the knees of our souls and bodies in Thy courts, O Lord, we, the faithful, hymn Thee, the unoriginate Father, the Son equally without beginning, and all-holy Spirit Who is equally eternal, Who enlighteneth and sanctifieth our souls.

Then, the First Hour, and dismissal.
