Thou art he unto whom we call, Father, king , god immortal ; hear the
prayer of thy fold, o glorious one.

the souls that are counted to him, o glorious one.

We now therefore make festival fulfilling thy holy day, passing the
night in vigil in thy joy, o glorious one.

Thou art a creature immortal on the day of this third ; thou art an envoy,
another has send thee to us, o glorious one.

Wash us now therefore in the dew-drops of thy joy, for we are ordained
to the service of the holy Bema, o glorious one.

Open to us the passage of the vaults of the skies and walk before
us to the joy of thy kingdom, o glorious one.

We are wont to worship the sign of thy seat when thou spreadest
it out on the day of the Filling of the Measure which is hidden today,
o glorious one.
