O merciful Lord, hearken to the supplication of Thy servants, who pray unto Thee.

Have mercy upon all according to Thy great and divine mercy, O Savior; for it is for this that we have all assembled, mystically representing the direction of Thy compassions, offering anointing with oil unto thy servants with faith, whom do Thou visit.

¶5

O merciful Lord, hearken to the supplication of Thy servants, who pray unto Thee.

In that Thou art full of lovingkindness, O Christ our Lord, with the streams of Thy mercy and by the anointing of Thy priests wash away the sicknesses, affliction and attacks of pain of those who are tormented in the violence of sufferings, that, saved, they may glorify Thee with thanksgiving.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

Withdraw not Thy mercy from us who trace the sign of inclination and serenity, divine mercy from on high; neither disdain those who ever crieth out with faith: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!

O pure one, nature hath received as a crown thy divine Offspring, Who crusheth the hordes of the enemy and doth mightily vanquish them. Wherefore, crowned with the splendors of Thy joyful graces, we hymn thee, O all-hymned Mistress.
