This is the beginning of the Morning Prayers of Orthodox Christians

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.  Amen

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy upon me, a sinner.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, through the prayers of Thy Most Pure Mother and all the saints, have mercy on us. Amen.

Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee

O Heavenly King, the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth Who art everywhere and fillest all things. Treasury of Blessings and Giver of Life: Come and abide in us, and cleanse us from every impurity, and save our souls, O Good One.

Holy God! Holy Mighty! Holy Immortal! Have mercy on us. Holy God! Holy Mighty! Holy Immortal! Have mercy on us. Holy God! Holy Mighty! Holy Immortal! Have mercy on us.

Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever unto ages of ages. Amen.

O Most Holy Trinity! Have mercy on us!  Lord, cleanse from our sins! Master, pardon our transgressions! Holy One visit and heal our infirmities for Thy name's sake.

Lord, have mercy!  Lord, have mercy!  Lord, have mercy!

 

Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever unto ages of ages. Amen.

Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.  Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one.

Having arisen from sleep, we fall down before Thee, O Blessed One, and sing to Thee, O Mighty One, the angelic hymn: Holy! Holy! Holy!  art Thou O God; through the Theotokos, have mercy on us.  Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit:

Having raised me from my bed and from sleep, O Lord, enlighten my mind and heart, and open my lips that I may praise Thee, O Holy Trinity:  Holy! Holy! Holy!  art Thou, O God; through the Theotokos, have mercy on us.

Now and ever unto ages of ages. Amen.

The Judge will come suddenly and the acts of every man will be revealed; but in the middle of the night we cry with fear:  Holy! Holy! Holy!  art Thou, O God; through the Theotokos, have mercy on us.

Lord, have mercy!  Lord, have mercy!  Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!  Lord, have mercy!  Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!  Lord, have mercy!  Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!  Lord, have mercy!  Lord, have mercy!

Having risen from sleep, I thank Thee, the Holy Trinity.  In abundance of Thy kindness and long patience, Thou hast not been angry with me for my laziness and sinfulness, nor hast Thou destroyed me in my lawlessness.  Instead, in Thy usual love for mankind, Thou hast raised me as I lay in despair, that I might rise early and glorify Thy Reign.  Enlighten now the eyes of my mind and open my lips, that I might learn of Thy words and understand Thy commandments, accomplish Thy Will, hymn Thee in heart felt confession and praise Thine all-holy name, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever unto ages of ages. Amen.

Come, let us worship God, our King!

Come, let us worship and fall down before Christ, our King and our God!

Come, let us worship and fall down before Christ Himself, our King and our God!

Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your steadfast love; according to Your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin! For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. Against You, You only, have I sinned; and done that which is evil in Your sight, so that You are justified in Your sentence and blameless in Your judgment. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sins did my mother conceive me.

Behold, You desire truth in the inward being. Teach me wisdom in my secret heart. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Fill me with joy and gladness; let the bones which You have broken rejoice. Hide Your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O god, and put a new and right spirit in me. Cast me not away from Your presence, and take not Your Holy Spirit from me. Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners will return to You. Deliver me from bloodshed, O God, God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing aloud of Your deliverance. O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall proclaim Your praise. For You have no delight in sacrifice; were I to give a burnt offering, You would not be pleased. The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise. Do good to Zion in Your good pleasure; rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, then will You delight in right sacrifices, in burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on Your altar.

I believe in One God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the Only-Begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all ages. Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father, by Whom all things were made.

Who for us and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became man.

And was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried;

And rose again on the third day, according to the Scriptures;

And ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of the Father;

And He shall come again with glory to judge the living and the dead: Whose kingdom shall have no end.

And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life, Who proceedeth from the Father, Who together with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified, Who spake by the prophets.

And in One, Holy, Universal, and Apostolic Church;

I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins;

I look for the resurrection of the dead;

And the life of the world to come. Amen.
