“It is good to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing unto Your most high name praises, and to proclaim in the morning Your grace, and Your faithfulness in the nights.

O Lord, in the morning shall You hear my voice and in the morning shall I be ready and appear to You. O Lord have mercy upon Your people.

O Lord absolve and forgive the sins of all of us. O Holy One stretch forth Your right hand towards us and heal our illness for Your holy name’s sake, have mercy upon us.

Then: “Holy are You, O God…etc”

By Mor Ignatius Ephrem Barsoum
