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,

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.
