          Widsom!  O Blessed Theotokos, who art most holy, save us.

 
CHOIR:         More honourable than the Cherubim and beyond compare more glorious than the Seraphim, thou who without stain barest God the Word, and art truly Theotokos, we magnify thee.
 
PRIEST:        Glory to Thee, O Christ our God and our hope, Glory to Thee.
 
CHOIR:         Glory to the Father + ,and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; now and ever, and unto ages of ages.  Amen.
