On Lord, I have cried…, 6 stichera: 3 of the feast, in Tone IV: Special Melody: Thou hast given a sign…—

Today the energy of Thine all-holy Spirit hath come upon Thine apostles, O Lord; and showing them to be all-wise by the knowledge of God, He hath filled them with Thy blessed teaching. Wherefore, we glorify Thy saving dispensation, O almighty Jesus, Savior of our souls.

Today Thine omnipotent Spirit Who is consubstantial with Thee, O Master, is sent by the Father in tongues of fire, and He hath made Thine apostles to mete out and speak of Thy mighty works; wherefore, we glorify Thy saving dispensation, O almighty Jesus, Savior of our souls.

Today Thou didst pour forth the gifts of Thy Spirit Comforter, O Savior, enabling human nature to prophesy, as Thou didst say, O Word, and with Him Thou didst teach us to worship the Trinity as indivisible; wherefore, we glorify Thy saving dispensation, O almighty Jesus, Savior of our souls.

And 3 stichera from the Menaion.

Glory…, Now & ever…, in Tone II—

Let us hymn the consubstantial Trinity—the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; for thus did the prophets, the apostles and martyrs all proclaim.

Then, O gladsome Light…

Aposticha stichera, in Tone I: Special Melody: Joy of the ranks of heaven…—

In the fire on the mountain Moses beheld He Who Is; but now the Spirit descendeth in the form of fire unto the wise apostles and beholders of God, manifestly enlightening them, as He is the One God Who spake, then and now, in the selfsame nature.

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

The divinely eloquent ones, with fiery tongues summoning to the water of divine baptism, burned up with the fire of the Spirit the foolish prating of the ungodly rhetors. But do Thou, O Comforter, enlighten us who theologize Thee with faith.

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

They who serve Thee in matter, O my God Who didst ineffably take upon Thyself the coarseness of matter, do Thou refashion into flames of the Spirit, as of old Thou madest the immaterial ones fire, in that Thou art greatly hymned; for Thou art wondrous in Thy works, O Thou Who lovest mankind.

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, Now lettest Thou Thy servant depart…; Troparion of the feast. Dismissal.

Be it known that the service of the saint which falleth on the coming Saturday we chant at Compline on Thursday evening; and that which falleth on the Sunday of All Saints we chant on the Friday evening.

At God is the Lord…, the troparion of the feast, thrice.

After the first chanting of the Psalter, this sessional hymn, in Tone I: 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: Of the Wisdom…—

The most Holy Spirit, descending now upon the apostles in the guise of fire, filled the assemblies of the nations with fear; for each heard in his own language what was spoken by the tongues of fire, O Thou Who lovest mankind. Wherefore, the miracle seemed like drunkenness to the unbelieving, but was recognized as truly salvific by the faithful. We therefore glorify Thy might, O Christ God, asking that Thou send down remission of transgressions in abundance upon Thy servants.

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

Canon II of the feast, with 8 troparia, including the irmos; and that from the Menaion, with 4 troparia. Kontakion and exapostilaria of the feast.

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

Unto the most Holy Spirit, Who is hymned with the Father and the Son, let us chant, O ye faithful, bowing down without ceasing! O ye people, let us glorify God, the All-holy Trinity!

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

With the sacred and divine apostles we faithfully praise Thee, the Spirit Comforter; for at the third hour, as Christ promised, He sent Thee from the Father of lights.

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

Glory to Thee, O Holy Trinity! In hymns I bow down triply before the Father, the upright Spirit and the Son; and hymning Thee as God, O Trinity, I honor Thee with faith as is meet.

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, the First Hour, and dismissal.

On the Beatitudes, 6 troparia, from Odes VII and VIII of the canons of the feast.
