HOLY EUCHOLOGION - St. Marys Coptic Orthodox Church

92 LITURGY OF SAINT BASIL
Whether or not the preceding is said, the congregation sings the
following:
“Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord of
Hosts, heaven and earth are
full of Thine holy glory.”
“Agios Agios Agios: Kirios
Saba-oth: epliris o ooranos: ke
ee gee tis agias: Soo doxis.”
PRIEST:
“Agios (signing himself), Agios (signing the acolytes to his right),
Agios (signing the congregation to the West).”
Holy, Holy, Holy—truly, O Lord, our God, Who formed us,
created us and placed us in the Paradise of Joy. When we
disobeyed Thy commandment through the guile of the serpent,
we fell from eternal life, and were exiled from the Paradise of Joy.
Thou hast not abandoned us to the end, but hast always
visited us through Thine holy prophets; and, in the last days,
Thou didst manifest Thyself to us, who were sitting in darkness
and the shadow of death, through Thine Only-Begotten Son, our
Lord, God and Saviour, Jesus Christ, Who, of the Holy Spirit and
of the Holy Virgin Mary—
CONGREGATION:
Amen.
PRIEST:
Was incarnate and became man, and taught us the ways of
salvation. He granted us the birth from on high, through water
and Spirit. He made us unto Himself a congregation, and
sanctified us by Thine Holy Spirit. He loved His own who are in
the world, and gave Himself up for our salvation unto death,
which reigned over us, whereby we were bound and sold on
account of our sins. He descended into Hades through the Cross.
CONGREGATION:
Amen. I believe.
