- 70 -
While the above is being said, the deacon, having formed a cross
with his arms ( by placing the right over the left ), and having lifted the
holy diskos ( with the right hand ) and the holy chalice (with the left),
he boweth with compunction.
People: We praise thee, we bless thee, we give
thanks unto Thee, O Lord, and we pray unto
Thee, O our God.
Хор: Тебе поем, Тебе благословим, Тебе
благодарим, Господи, и молимтися, Боже
наш.
All make a prostration, if it be a weekday, but not it be Great Feast of
the Lord or the Theotokos.
And the priest prayeth:
Priest:
Again we offer unto Thee this rational and
bloodless service, and we ask of Thee, and we
pray Thee, and we entreat Thee: Send down Thy
Holy Spirit upon us and upon these Gifts set forth.
And the Priest and the deacon bow together thrice as the priest saith:
Priest:
O God cleanse me a sinner and have mercy
on me
Thrice
And the Priest prayeth with raised hands, and the deacon
respondeth, and each boweth thrice:
Priest:
O Lord, Who didst send down Thy most Holy
Spirit at the third hour upon Thine apostles: Take
Him not from us, O Good One, but renew Him in us
who pray unto Thee.
Stichos:
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and
renew a right spirit within me.
