Alleluia!
In the dead of night, hither cometh the bridegroom
And the servant that he findeth watchful shall blessed be
But he shall not find worthy the servant slumbering.
Awake O my soul therefore.
Let not sleep encumber thee,
Lest unto death thou be abandoned
and barred from the kingdom.
But stir thyself, ever crying,
"Holy, holy, holy art Thou, O God,
and with Mary, Theotokos, Kyrie Eleison."
