PSALM CIII.
Praise the Lord, O my soul : O
Lord my God, thou art become ex
ceeding glorious ; thou art clothed
with majesty and honour. Thou
deckest thyself with light as it were
with a garment,
And spreadest out the heavens like
a curtain. Who layeth the beams of
his chambers in the waters,
And maketh the clouds his chariot,
and walketh upon the wings of the
wind.
He maketh his angels spirits : and
his ministers a flaming fire.
He laid the foundations of the
earth : that it never should move at
any time.

Thou coveredst it with the deep
like as with a garment : the waters
stand in the hills.
At thy rebuke they flee : at the
voice of thy thunder they are afraid.
They go up as high as the hills,
and down to the valleys beneath,
even unto the place which thou hast
appointed for them.
Thou hast set them their bounds
which they shall not pass : neither
turn again to cover the earth.
He sendeth the springs into the
rivers : the waters run among the hills.
All beasts of the field drink thereof :
and the wild asses quench their thirst.
Beside them shall the fowls of the
air have their habitation : and sing
among the rocks.

He watereth the hills from above :
the earth is filled with the fruit of thy
works.
Hebringeth forth grass for the cattle,
and green herb for the service of men.
That he may bring food out of the
earth, and wine that maketh glad the
heart of man,
And oil to make him a cheerful
countenance, and bread to strengthen
man s heart.
The trees of the Lord also are full
of sap : even the cedars of Libanus
which he hath planted ;
Wherein the birds make their nests :
and the fir-trees are a dwelling for the
stork.
The high hills are a refuge for the
wild goats : and so are the stony rocks
for the conies.

He appointed the moon for certain
seasons : and the sun knoweth his
going down.
Thou makest darkness that it may
be night : wherein all the beasts of
the forest do move.
The lions roaring after their prey :
do seek their meat from God.
The sun ariseth, and they get them
away together : and lay them down
in their dens.
Man goeth forth to his work, and
to his labour, until the evening.
O Lord , how manifold are thy works :
in wisdom hast thou made them all ;
the earth is full of thy riches.
So is the great and wide sea also :
wherein are things creeping innumer

There go the ships, and there is that
Leviathan, whom thou hast made to
take his pastime therein.
These wait all upon thee : that
thou mayest give them meat in due
season : when thou givest it them
they gather it ;
And when thou openest thy hand
they are filled with good : when thou
hidest thy face they are troubled.
When thou takest away their breath
they die, and are turned again to
their dust.
When thou lettest thy breath go
forth they shall be made : and thou
shalt renew the face of the earth.
The glorious Majesty of the Lord
shall endure for ever : the Lord shall
rejoice in his works.

With them that are enemies unto

The hills stand about her : even so
standeth the Lord round about his
people, from this time forth for ever
more.
For the Lord suffers not the rod of
the ungodly to fall upon the lot of the
righteous : lest the righteous put their
hand unto wickedness.
Do well, O Lord, unto those that
are good and true of heart.
As for such as turn back unto their
own wickedness : the Lord shall lead
them forth with the evil-doers ; but
peace shall be upon Israel.
PSALM CXXV.
When the Lord turned again the
captivity of Sion : then were we like
unto them that have been comforted.
Then was our mouth filled with
laughter, and our tongue with joy.

Yea, the Lord hath done great
things for us already : whereof we
rejoice.

They that sow in tears, shall reap

They that now go on their way
weeping, cast forth good seed ;
They shall come again with joy, and

When there is no Choir present, the following
Psalm is read, by the Reader, while the Priest
censes the people.
PSALM L.
Have mercy upon me, O God, after
thy great goodness : according to the
multitude of thy mercies do away
mine offences.
Wash me throughly from my
wickedness, and cleanse me from my
sin. For I acknowledge my faults,
and my sin is ever before me.

Against thee only have I sinned,
and done this evil in thy sight : that
thou mightest be justified in thy
saying, and clear when thou art
judged.
Behold, I was shapen in wicked
ness : and in sin hath my mother
conceived me.
But lo, thou requirest truth in the
inward parts : and shalt make me to
understand wisdom secretly.
Thou shalt purge me with hyssop,
and I shall be clean : thou shalt wash
me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Thou shalt make me hear of joy
and gladness : that the bones which
thou hast broken may rejoice.
Turn thy face from my sins, and
put out all my misdeeds.

Make me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from thy pres
ence, and take not thy holy spirit
from me.
O give me the comfort of thy help
again and stablish me with thy free
spirit.
Then shall I teach thy ways unto
the wicked, and sinners shall be con
verted unto thee.
Deliver me from blood-guiltiness,
O God, thou that art the God of my
health : and my tongue shall sing of
thy righteousness.
Thou shalt open my lips, O Lord,
and my mouth shall shew thy praise.
For thou desirest no sacrifice, else
would I give it thee : but thou delight-

O God, shalt thou not despise.

the sacrifice of righteousness, with the

compassion hast ordained that we, sinners,

I stand before the doors of Thy Sanctuary,
yet I do not put away from me my hurtful
thoughts ; but Thou, O Christ our God, Who
didst justify the Publican, and have mercy
upon the Canaanitish woman, and open the
gates of Paradise to the Thief, open also unto
me the bounty of Thy compassion, and as I
approach to touch Thee, receive me, even as
the Harlot and the Woman with the issue of
blood. For the one by the mere touch of the
hem of Thy garment was healed, and the
other by clasping Thy sacred feet obtained
release from her sins.

SIMILAR CHANTS BY JOSEPH.
Jesus, Who is the Sun of the Understanding,
sent you forth, O Apostles who have seen God, as
flashes of bright lightning to all the world. He
drove out the darkness of error with the splendour
of your divine proclaiming and enlightened those
whom the gloom of ignorance oppressed ; where
fore do ye earnestly entreat for us, that on us also
may be sent illumination and the great mercy.
Elias went up in a divine chariot of his virtues,
and by fasting was carried in radiance into the
highest Heaven. Do thou, O my humble soul,
strive also, even as he, and fast and throw off all
evil, malice, envy, and corrupting and voluptuous
luxury ; so that thou mayest flee from the grievous
and eternal pain of Ghenna, and cry to Christ :
Lord, glory to Thee.

it was so. And God made the beast of the earth
after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and
every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his
kind : and God saw that it was good. And God
said, Let us make man in our image, after our
likeness : and let them have dominion over the
fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and
over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over
every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
So God made man ; in the image of God made
he him ; male and female made he them. And
God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be
fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and
subdue it ; and have dominion over the fish of the
sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the
cattle and over all the earth, and over every
creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
And God said, Behold, I have given you every
herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all
the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit
of a tree yielding seed ; to you it shall be for meat.
And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl

the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every
green herb for meat : and it was so. And God

the heavens and the earth were finished, and all
the host of them. And on the sixth day God
ended his work which he had made ; and God
rested on the seventh day from all his work which

THE READING FROM PROVERBS.
Chap. ii. i.
My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide
my commandments with thee ; thou shalt incline
thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to
understanding ; and apply it to the instruction
of thy son. Yea, if thou criest after wisdom, and
liftest up thy voice for understanding ; if thou
seekest her as silver, and searches! for her as for
hid treasures ; then shalt thou understand the fear
of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.
For the Lord giveth wisdom : out of his mouth
cometh knowledge and understanding. He layeth
up salvation for the righteous : he is a buckler to
them that walk uprightly. He keepeth the paths
of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and
judgment, and equity ; yea, every good path.
When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and
knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul ; discretion
shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep
thee : to deliver thee from the way of the evil
man, from the man that speaketh froward things ;
who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the

delight in the frowardness of the wicked ; whose
ways are crooked, and they froward in their
paths : to remove thee far from the straight way
and to estrange thee from a righteous purpose.
My son, let not evil counsel overtake thee of her
which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and
forgetteth the covenant of her God. For her
house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto
Hades and the earth-born. None that go unto her
return aenin, neither take they hold of the right

would have found the paths of righteousness easy.
The good shall be the inhabitants of the earth,
and those that know no evil shall remain in it.
For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the
perfect shall remain in it. But the ways of the
wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the
transgressors shall be rooted out of it.

works of God, let us walk honestly as in the day,
let us cast away from ourselves every unjust writing
against our neighbour, and not put a stumbling-

Theodore rejoices with us who keep the feast and

faith hasten to thee ; wherefore we honour thee

the sick, thou enrichest the poor, and thou
guardest those who travel by water ; thou stayest
the unavailing flight of slaves, and thou, O
Athlete, makest manifest to those who have been
robbed, whence they have sustained loss ; thou

Thou, O Martyr Theodore, wast manifested as
supreme gift of God, for even after thine end,
thou as one living, dost grant the petitions of those
who hasten to thee. When once the son of a poor
woman had been stolen away and taken captive into
the camp of another belief, the widow with fervent
faith came and watered thy shrine with her tears,
and thou wast compassionate, and going forth on

unseen by him, and afterwards working through
him, thou didst not cease from signs and wonders.
Wherefore do thou entrtat Christ our God to save

hast illumined with thy labours the whole Creation.

The Enemy by employing as his tool the
Apostate Tyrant, through a cruel device tried to
pollute, with food used for impious sacrifices, the
people who were keeping a godly fast. Thou
didst, however, frustrate his scheme by a more
subtle device, and didst cause a dream to come to
the High Priest of that day discovering the depth
of the plan and secretly showing to him the folly
of the thing purposed. Thee, truly, we inscribe
as a saviour, and sacrifice thank offerings to thee,
making yearly remembrance of the event, and
further we beseech thee, thou great Martyr Theo
dore, that we, being unharmed by the devices of
the Evil One, may be saved, through thy inter

And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the
fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field ; but
for Adam there was not found an help meet for
him. And God caused a deep sleep to fall upon
Adam, and he slept : and he took one of his ribs,
and closed up the flesh instead thereof; and the
rib, which the Lord God had taken from Adam,
made he a woman, and brought her unto Adam.
And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones,
and flesh of my flesh : she shall be called Woman,
because she was taken out of Man. Therefore
shall a man leave his father and his mother, and
shall cleave unto his wife : and they shall be one
flesh. And they were both naked, Adam and his
wife, and were not ashamed. (Chap. iii. I. ) Now
the serpent was more subtil than any beast of
the field which the Lord God had made. And

Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
And the woman said unto the serpent, We may
eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden : but of
the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the
garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it,
neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the
serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely
die : for God doth know that in the day ye eat
thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye
shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And
when the woman saw that the tree was good for
food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a
tree to be desired to make one wise, she took

unto her husband with her ; and he did eat.
And the eyes of them both were opened, and

I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid,
because I was naked ; and I hid myself. And he
said, Who told thee that thou wast naked ? Hast
thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee
that thou shouldest not eat? And Adam said,
The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she
gave me of the tree, and I did eat. And the Lord
God said unto the woman, What is this that thou
hast done ? And the woman said, The serpent
beguiled me, and I did eat. And the Lord God
said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done
this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above
every beast of the field ; upon thy belly shalt thou
go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life ;
and I will put enmity between thee and the
woman, and between thy seed and her seed ; it
shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his
heel. Unto the woman he said, I will greatly
multiply thy sorrow and thy conception ; in sorrow
thou shalt bring forth children ; and thy desire
shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over
thee. And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast
hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast

THE READING FROM PROVERBS.
Chap. iii. 19.
The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth ;
by understanding hath he established the heavens.
By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the
clouds drop down the dew. My son, let not them
depart from thine eyes ; keep sound wisdom and
discretion : so shall they be life unto thy soul, and
grace to thy neck ; and it shall be health to thy
flesh, and safety to thy bones. Then shalt thou
walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not
stumble. When thou liest down, thou shalt not
be afraid ; yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep
shall be sweet. Be not afraid of sudden fear,
neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it
cometh. For the Lord shall be thy confidence,
and shall keep thy foot from being taken. With
hold not good from him who lacks, when it is in
the power of thine hand to do it : say not unto
thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to
morrow I will give ; when thou hast it by thee :
for thou knowest not what the next day will
bring forth. Devise not evil against thy neigh
bour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee. Strive

And Cain went out from the presence of the
Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east
of Eden. And Cain knew his wife ; and she
conceived, and bare Enoch : and he built a city,
and called the name of the city, after the name of
his son, Enoch. And unto Enoch was born Irad :
and Irad begat Mehujael : and Mehujael begat
Methusael : and Methusael begat Lamech. And
Lamech took unto him two wives : the name of
the one was Adah, and the name of the other
Zillah. And Adah bare Jabal : he was the father
of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have
cattle. And his brother s name was Jubal : he
was the father of all such as handle the harp and
organ. And Zillah, she also bare Tubal-cain, an
instructor of every artificer in brass and iron ; and
the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah. And
Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah,
Hear my voice : ye wives of Lamech, hearken
unto my speech : for I have slain a man to my
wounding, and a young man to my hurt. If Cain
shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy

THE READING FROM GENESIS.
Chap. v. 32,
And Noah was five hundred years old : and
Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
(Chap. vi. i.) And it came to pass, when men
began to multiply on the face of the earth, and
daughters were born unto them, that the sons of
God saw the daughters of men that they were fair ;
and they took them wives of all which they chose.
And the Lord God said, My Spirit shall not
always strive with man, for that he also is flesh :
yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
There were giants in the earth in those days ; and
also after that, when the sons of God came in unto
the daughters of men, and they bare children to
them, the same became mighty men which were
of old, men of renown. And the Lord God saw
that the wickedness of man was great in the earth,
and that every imagination of the thoughts of his
heart was only evil continually. And it repented
God that he had made man on the earth, and it
grieved him. And he said. I will destroy man
whom I have made, from the face of the earth ;
both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and

after her beauty in thine heart ; neither be thou
caught by thine eyes, nor let her take thee with
her eyelids : for the price of a harlot is as a piece
of bread ; and a woman hunts for the precious
souls of men. Can a man take fire in his bosom,
and his clothes not be burnt ? Can one go upon
hot coals, and his feet not be burnt? So he
that goeth in to a married woman, and whosoever
toucheth her, shall not be innocent. Men do not
wonder at a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul
when he is hungry ; but if he be found, he shall
restore sevenfold ; he shall give all the substance
of his house. But whoso committeth adultery
lacketh understanding : he that doeth it destroyed!
his own soul. A wound and dishonour shall he
get ; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
For jealousy is the rage of her husband ; therefore
he will not spare in the day of vengeance. He will
not regard any ransom ; neither will he rest con
tent, though thou givest many gifts. (Chap. vii. i.)
My son, keep my words, and lay up my command
ments with thee. My son, honour the Lord, and
thou shalt be strong ; and fear thou him only.

I, the Prodigal, have wandered away into a

I have been clothed with the shame of trans

and as for him that wanteth understanding, she
saith to him, Stolen waters are sweet, and bread
eaten in secret is pleasant. But he knoweth not
that the dead are there ; and that her guests are
in the depths of hell. But turn away, linger not
in her place, nor set thine eyes upon her ; for thus

And the ark rested in the seventh month, on
the seven and twentieth day of the month, upon
the mountains of Ararat. And the waters
decreased continually until the tenth month : in
the tenth month, on the first day of the month,
were the tops of the mountains seen. And it
came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah
opened the window of the ark which he had made :
and he sent forth a raven, to see if the water was
abated, and he went forth to and fro, until the
waters were dried up from off the earth. Also he
sent forth afterwards a dove from him, to see if
the waters were abated from the earth ; but the
dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and
she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters
were on the face of the whole earth : then he put
forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in
unto him into the ark. And he stayed yet other
seven days ; and again he sent forth the dove out
of the ark ; and the dove came in to him in
the evening ; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive

And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first
year of the life of Noah, in the first month, the
first day of the month, the waters were dried up
from off the face of the earth : and Noah removed
the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold,
the face of the ground was dry. And in the
second month, on the seven and twentieth day of
the month, was the earth dried. And the Lord
God spake unto Noah, saying, Go forth of the
ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy
sons wives with thee. Bring forth with thee
every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh,
both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping
thing that creepeth upon the earth ; that they
may be fruitful and multiply upon the earth.
And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife,
and his sons wives with him : every beast, and
all the cattle, and every creeping thing, and every
fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth,
after their kinds went forth out of the ark, on the

lowly is wisdom. The integrity of the upright
shall guide them : but the perverseness of trans
gressors shall destroy them. Riches profit not in
the day of wrath : but righteousness delivereth from
death. When a just man dies he leaves regret ;
but the destruction of the wicked is speedy and
causes joy. The righteousness of the perfect shall
direct his way : but the wicked shall fall by his
own wickedness. The righteousness of the upright
shall deliver them : but transgressors shall be
taken in their own naughtiness. When a just
man dieth, his expectation shall not perish ; but
the boast of unjust men perisheth. The righteous
is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh
in hit stead. A wicked man with his mouth
destroyeth his neighbour : but through knowledge
shall the just be delivered. When it goeth well
with the righteous, the city rejoiceth ; and when
the wicked perish, there is exultation. By the
blessing of the upright the city is exalted : but it
is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked. He
that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour :
but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.
Then, Let my prayer be set forth . . . (see page

FOR WEDNESDAY OF THE
FOURTH WEEK.
CHANT. 4TH TONE.
The fast which incites to righteous deeds has
now run half its course ; these past days have
proved acceptable, and now is set forth the need
of the days which are to come, and our increased
sense of this necessity will make their benefit
greater. Wherefore to Christ, the Giver of all
good, willingly we cry : O Thou Who didst fast
and endure the Cross for us, vouchsafe that we
may without condemnation share in Thy divine
Pascha, and pass our lives in peace, worthily
glorifying Thee, with the Father and the Spirit.
ANOTHER. IST PLAG. TONE.
Those who work righteousness in secret, and
receive spiritual recompense, do not blazon forth
these things in the midst of the streets, but rather
they carry them in their hearts ; and He Who
sees the secret deeds of all, grants to us the

Though your souls were unsatisfied, you, O
Holy Martyrs, did not deny Christ ; by enduring
tortures and sufferings ye overcame the violence

unchanged ye were transported into the Heavens ;
therefore, having boldness towards Him, entreat
that to the world peace may be given, and to our
souls the great mercy.

Ham is the father of Canaan. These are the three
sons of Noah : and of them was the whole earth
overspread. And Noah began to be an husband
man, and he planted a vineyard : and he drank
of the wine, and was drunken ; and he was un
covered within his tent. And Ham, the father of
Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told
his two brethren without. And Shem and Japheth
took a garment, and laid it upon both their
shoulders, and went backwards, and covered the
nakedness of their father ; and their faces were
backward, and they saw not their father s naked
ness. And Noah awoke from his wine, and
knew what his younger son had done unto him.
And he said, Cursed be the servant Canaan ;
a slave shall he be unto his brethren. And
he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem ;
and Canaan shall be a servant of servants to
him. God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall
dwell in the tents of Shem ; and Canaan shall
be his servant. And Noah lived after the
flood three hundred and fifty years : and all the
days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty
years : and he died. Now these are the genera

A prudent man is a throne of knowledge : but

ful shall be under tribute. A terrible word troubles
the heart of a righteous man ; but a good message
maketh him glad. A just arbitrator shall be his own
friend, but mischief shall pursue sinners ; and the
way of the wicked seduceth them. The slothful
man takes not in hunting : but a blameless man
is a precious possession. In the way of righteous
ness is life ; and in the pathway of those who
remember injuries there is death. (Chap, xiii.)

Chap. xii. i.
Now the Lord said unto Abram, Get thee out
of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from
thy father s house, unto a land that I will show
thee : and I will make of thee a great nation, and I
will bless thee, and make thy name great ; and
thou shalt be a blessing : and I will bless them
that bless thee, and curse them that curse thee :
and in thee shall all families of the earth be
blessed. So Abram departed, as the Lord God
had spoken unto him ; and Lot went with him :
and Abram was seventy and five years old when
he departed out of Haran. And Abram took
Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother s son, and all
their substance that they had gathered, and the
souls that they had gotten in Haran ; and they
\vent forth to go into the land of Canaan. And
Abram passed through the land unto the place
of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the
Canaanite was then in the land. And the Lord
appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed
will I give this land : and there builded he an
altar unto the Lord, who appeared unto him.

The simple believeth every word : but the

but a man of understanding bears up under many

are crowned with knowledge. The evil bow
before the good ; and the wicked shall attend at

of his own neighbour : but the rich hath many

but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.

that devise evil understand not mercy and faith ;
but compassion and faithfulness are with those
that devise good. In all labour there is profit :
but the pleasure- taking and indolent tend only to
penury. The crown of the wise is their riches ;
but the foolishness of fools is folly. A true witness
delivereth a soul from evil ; but a deceitful witness
speaketh lies. In the fear of the Lord is strong
confidence ; and his children shall have a place of
refuge.
Then, Let my prayer be set forth . . . (see page
41 ), and the rest of the Liturgy of the Presanctified.
FOR WEDNESDAY OF THE
FIFTH WEEK.
Lh the Psalm cxl., " Lord, I call upon Thee,"
the following Chants are sung, beginning at the
verse, Let the ungodly fall . . . (page 34).

CHANT. 4TH FLAG. TONE.
I, wretched one, despoiled of my mind and
evilly smitten, fall among the thieves who steal
away reason, and scourged in my whole soul I lie
stripped of virtues here on the highway of life.
A priest seeing me that I suffer from incurable
wounds, overlooks me and sees not. Also a
Levite, not wishing to endure my deadly agony,
looks down upon me and he too passes me by ;
but Thou, Christ our God, Who wert content not
of Samaria but of Maria to be incarnate, do Thou
^rant me healing, of Thy pity, and pour upon me
Thy great mercy.
Line. I cried unto the Lord with my voice.
And again the same.
Line. I poured out my complaints before
him.
HYMN OF THE MARTYRS.
If there be any virtue, if there be any praise, to
the Saints it is due, since they bowed their necks to
the sword for Thee, Who didst bow the Heavens
and come down ; they have poured out their blood

SIMILAR CHANTS, BY JOSEPH.
4TH FLAG. TONE.
Line. When my spirit was in heaviness.
O Lord, Thou hast set before Thy holy disciples
rational Heavens ; by their holy supplications
redeem me from earthly evils, and by abstinence
ever exalt my reasoning powers, that I may better
comprehend Thy sufferings, O Thou Who art
gracious and merciful.
In the way wherein I walked.
Let us weep with our whole hearts, who use the
season of the Fast as a help for divine deeds, and
let us cry to the Saviour : Through Thy disciples,
O gracious Lord, save, of Thy many mercies, those
who with fear praise Thee.

didst deign to take flesh, before I am utterly lost,

And Abram fell on his face : and God talked with
him, saying : Behold, my covenant is with thee,
and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram,
but thy name shall be Abraham ; for a father of
many nations have I made thee. And T will make
thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations
of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. And I
will establish my covenant between me and thee
and thy seed after thee in their generations for an
everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and
to thy seed after thee. And I will give unto thee,
and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou
art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an ever
lasting possession ; and I will be their God. And
God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my
covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee

THE READING FROM PROVERBS.
Chap. xv. 20.
A wise son maketh a glad father : but a foolish
man despiseth his mother. Folly is joy to him
that is destitute of wisdom : but a man of under
standing walketh uprightly. Without council
purposes are disappointed : but in the hearts of
counsellors counsel is established. A bad man
will not obey it : neither will he speak anything
seasonable or good for the common weal. The
ways of life are the thoughts of the wise, that he
may turn aside and depart from hell. The Lord
will destroy the house of the proud : but he will
establish the border of the widow. The thoughts
of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord :
but the words of the pure are pleasant words. He
that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house :
but he that hateth gifts shall live. By alms and
by faith sins are purged ; but by the fear of the
Lord, everyone departs from evil. The heart of
the righteous studieth to answer : but the mouth
of the wicked poureth out evil things. The ways
of righteous men are acceptable with the Lord,
and through them even enemies become friends.

God is far from the wicked : but he heareth the
prayer of the righteous. The light of the eyes
rejoiceth the heart ; and a good report maketh the
bones fat. The ear that heareth the reproof
of life abideth among the wise. He that refuseth
instruction despiseth himself : but he that heareth
reproof loveth his own soul. The fear of the Lord
is instruction and wisdom ; and the highest honour
will correspond therewith. (Chap. xvi. I.) The
preparations of the heart are from man, and the
answer of the tongue is from the Lord. However
great thou art, in like measure humble thyself;
and before the Lord God thou shalt find grace.
All the ways of the humble are clear before God :
but the Lord establisheth the spirits. Commit
thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall
be established. The Lord hath made all things
for himself; and the wicked shall perish in the
day of evil. Every one that is proud in heart is
an abomination to God ; though hand join in
hand unjustly, he shall not be unpunished. The
beginning of a good way is to do justly, and it
shall be received by God, before the offering of
sacrifices. He that seeketh the Lord, findeth
knowledge with righteousness ; and they that seek

the spoil with the proud. He that handleth a
matter wisely shall find good : and whoso trusteth
in the Lord, happy is he. The wise in heart shall
be called prudent : and the sweetness of the lips
increaseth learning. Understanding is a well-
spring of life unto him that hath it : but the
instruction of fools is folly. The heart of the wise
teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his
lips. Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet
and health to the soul. There is a way which
seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof
looketh to the depths of Hell. He that laboureth
laboureth for himself ; for his mouth craveth it of
him ; but the perverse beareth destruction upon his
own mouth. An ungodly man ddggeth up evil :
and in his lips there is as a burning fire. A per
verse man spreadeth evil, and will kindle a torch
of deceit with mischief, and separateth friends.
A violent man enticeth his friends, and leadeth
them into the way that is not good. He shutteth
his eyes to devise froward things : moving his lips
he bringeth evil to pass ; he is a furnace of
wickedness. The hoary head is a crown of glory,

The lot is cast into the lap for the ungodly, but all

foolish masters, and shall have part of the inherit
ance among the brethren. The fining pot is for

trieth the hearts. A wicked doer giveth heed to
false tongues ; but a righteous man attendeth not to
false lips. Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth
his Maker ; and he that is glad at calamities shall
not be unpunished ; but he that has compassion
shall find mercy. Children s children are the
crown of old men ; and the glory of children are
their fathers. The faithful hath a whole world
of wealth, but the faithless hath not a farthing.
Excellent speech becometh not a fool ; much
less do lying lips a just man. Instruction is,
to them that use it, a gracious reward ; whither
soever it turneth, it prospereth. He that covereth
a transgression seeketh love : but he that repeateth
a matter separateth friends and kindred. A

reproof entereth more into a wise man than a
hundred stripes into a fool. An evil man seeketh
only rebellion ; therefore a cruel messenger shall
be sent against him by the Lord. Care may
befall a man of understanding, but fools will
meditate evil. Whoso rewardeth evil for good,
evil shall not be removed from his house. The
rule of justice giveth authority to words, but
sedition and strife precede poverty. He that
justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the
just, even they both are unclean and an abomina
tion to the Lord. Wherefore is there a price in
the hand of a fool, seeing he hath no heart to get
wisdom ? He that exalteth his own house seeketh
ruin, and he that turneth away from instruction
shall fall into mischief. A friend loveth at all
times, but let brethren be useful in adversity.
Then, Let my prayer be set forth . . . ( sec page

FOR FRIDAY OF THE
FIFTH WEEK.
CHANT. ZND FLAG. TONE.
Departing from Thy divine commands as from
Jerusalem, I took part in the life of Jericho, and
I was dragged down by dishonourable glory and
by the cares of this world. I fell among the
thieves who steal away reason, and I was stripped
by them of my robe of sonship by grace, and I
lay, as it were, bereft of breath from their violence.
A priest passing, saw me fallen and heeded not.
A Levite to whom I was an abomination passed
me by ; but Thou, O Lord, Who wast ineffably
incarnate from the Virgin, by the voluntary pour
ing forth from Thy side of the gushing water
and blood of salvation didst anoint me as with
oil. O Christ our God, do Thou of Thy pity
bind up as with linen the scars of my wounds,
and number me among those for Thy heavenly
country. (Twice. )

CHANT OF THE MARTYRS. SAME TONE.
Thy Martyrs, O Lord, denied Thee not, neither
did they depart from Thy commandments ; by
their intercessions have mercy upon us.
Similar Chants of the Virgin ; the following
three are repeated to make seven.
2ND FLAG. TONE.
To thee, O Maiden, Gabriel revealed the counsel
that was before all ages, as he approached and
saluted thee and cried aloud : Hail, unsown land ;
hail, bush, burning but unconsumed ; hail, un
fathomable depth ; hail, bridge leading to the
Heavens and ladder raised on high which Jacob
saw ; hail, divine vase of manna ; hail, release
from the curse ; hail, recaller of Adam ; the Lord
is with thee.
Like unto a man dost thou appear to me,
saith the innocent Maiden to the Archangel, yet
thou speakest words far above those of men. For
thou sayest that God shall rest upon me, and
shelter in my womb. Tell me, how can I become
a broad land, and hallowed place for Him Who
rides upon the Cherubim ? Deceive me not ; for

I know not lust ; and I have not been admitted to
marriage ; how then can I bear a child ?
God, when He so wills, saith the Angel,
vanquishes the order of nature and accomplishes
works above those of man. Do thou therefore,
O all-holy Maiden, believe these my words of
truth. And she cried : Be it unto me according to
thy word, and let me give birth to Him Who is
spiritual, and He shall borrow of my flesh, so that
by this blended nature He Who alone is all-
powerful may lead mankind back to his first estate.
Glory be to the Father . . . Now, and for
ever . .
2ND TONE.
The mystery which was from before all ages is
to-day revealed, and the Son of God becomes the
Son of man, in order that by partaking of the
worse He may impart to me of the better. Of
old, Adam was beguiled, and the purpose of God
was not fulfilled. God becomes man in order that
Adam may be made as God. Let Creation rejoice
and let Nature sing in chorus, for the Archangel
in awe draws near to the Virgin and brings his

And it came to pass after these things that God
did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham,
Abraham : and he said, Behold, here I am. And
he said, Take now thy beloved son Isaac, whom
thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah ;
and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one
of the mountains which I will tell thee of. And
Abraham rose up early in the morning, and
saddled his ass, and took two of his young men
with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood
for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto
the place of which God had told him. Then on

the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw
the place afar off. And Abraham said unto his
young men, Abide ye here with the ass ; and I
and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come
again to you. And Abraham took the wood of
the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son ;
and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife ; and
they went both of them together. And Isaac
spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My
father : and he said, What is it, my child ? And
he said, Behold the fire and the wood ; but where
is the lamb for a burnt offering? And Abraham
said, My child, God will provide himself a lamb
for a burnt offering : so they went both of them
together. And they came to the place which God
had told him of; and Abraham built an altar
there, and laid the wood in order, and bound
Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon
the wood. And Abraham stretched forth his
hand, and took the knife to slay, his son. And
the angel of the Lord called unto him out of
heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham : and he
said, Here am I. And he said, Lay not thine
hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto
him : for now I know that thou fearest God,

seeing thou hast not withheld thy beloved son from
me. And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked,
and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket
by his horns: and Abraham went and took the
ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the
stead of Isaac his son. And Abraham called the
name of that place Jehovah-jireh : as it is said to
this day in the mount, the Lord shall be seen.
And the angel of the Lord called unto Abraham
out of heaven the second time, and said, By
myself have I sworn, saith the Lord ; for because
thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld
thy beloved son, that in blessing I will bless thee,
and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the

THE READING FROM PROVERBS.
Chap. xvii. 17.
Let brethren be useful in adversity, for for this
are they born. A man void of understanding
striketh hands, and rejoiceth over himself; as he
that becometh surety would become surety for his
own friend, and treasureth fire on his own lips. He
loveth transgression that loveth strife, and he that
exalteth his gate seeketh destruction ; he that
hath a froward heart findeth no good. He that
hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief; and
the heart of a fool is a grief to its possessor. He
that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow ; but a
wise son rejoiceth his mother. A merry heart doeth
good like a medicine : but a broken spirit drieth
the bones. A wicked man who taketh gifts into
his bosom, his ways do not prosper ; and an
ungodly man perverteth the ways of righteousness.
Wisdom is before him that hath understanding ;
but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.

A foolish son is a cause of anger to his father, and
bitterness to her that bare him. Also to punish
the just is not good, nor is it well to plot against
just princes. He that hath knowledge spareth
hard words : and a man of understanding is
patient. Even a fool, when he asketh after wisdom,
is counted wise ; and he that shutteth his lips is
esteemed a man of understanding. A man seeketh
excuses who wisheth to separate from friends, but
at all times he will be liable to reproach. (Chap,
xviii. ) A fool hath no delight in understanding,
for he is rather led by folly. When the wicked
cometh into a depth of evils, he despiseth them, but
there cometh also contempt and reproach to him.
The words of a man s heart are as deep waters, a
flowing river, and a source of life. It is not good
to accept the person of the wicked, nor is it well
to overthrow the righteous in judgment.
Then, Let my prayer be set forth . . .(seepage

I am rich in desires, and I am clothed with the
seductive vesture of hypocrisy ; I rejoice in the
evils of excess, and I display a boundless lack of
mercy. I see my mind cast down before the
gateway of repentance, void of every virtue and
diseased with neglect. For me, therefore, do
Thou, O Lord, make a Lazarus poor in sins, so
that when I pray I may not find wanting his
refreshing ringer for my tongue tortured in the
unquenchable flame ; and of Thy mercy shelter

SIMILAR CHANTS, THE WORK OF JOSEPH.
i When Thou, O Jesus, wert going about in
the land beyond Jordan in the flesh, Thou didst
say to those with Thee: Our friend Lazarus is
already dead and has now been given over to the
tomb ; in this I rejoice for you, O friends, that
you may learn that I know all things and am
inseparable from God, even though I appear by
nature as man. Let us go, therefore, and give life
to Lazarus, so that death may recognise this victory
and the perfect end that I shall make in granting
to the world the great mercy.
Let us, the faithful, emulate Martha and
Mary, and let us send up before the Lord
hallowed deeds, as ambassadors, that when He
comes He may raise our minds which lie, dead
and miserable, in the sepulchre, without sense of
negligence, in no way apprehending divine awe,
and possessing now no living force, so that we
may cry : Behold, Lord, that as of old, pitying

Lazarus is now two days in the tomb, and sees
those who are dead from all ages ; there he
beholds strange terrors, and an innumerable mul
titude held in the bonds of Hades ; therefore his

But Christ came to give life to His own friend and
to consummate His scheme for all : Blessed art
Thou, O Saviour ; have mercy upon us.

THE READING FROM GENESIS.
Chap, xliii. 26.
And when Joseph came home, his brethren
brought him the presents which were in their
hands into the house, and bowed themselves to
him to the earth. And he asked them of their
welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old man
of whom ye spake? is he yet alive? And they
answered, Thy servant our father is in good health,
he is yet alive. And he said : Blessed by God
be that man. And they bowed down their heads,
and made obeisance. And Joseph lifted up his
eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother s
son, and said, Is this your younger brother, of
whom ye spake unto me ? And he said, God be
gracious unto thee, my child. And Joseph made
haste ; for his bowels did yearn upon his brother :
and he sought where to weep ; and he entered into
his chamber, and wept there. And he washed his
face, and went out, and refrained himself. Chap.
xlv. ) Then Joseph could not refrain himself before
all them that stood by him ; and he cried, Cause
every man to go out from me. And there stood
no man with him while Joseph made himself

brethren could not answer him ; for they were
troubled at his presence. And Joseph said unto
his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And
they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your
brother, whom ye sold into Egypt. Now therefore
be not grieved nor angry with yourselves that ye
sold me hither ; for God did send me before you
to preserve life. For these two years hath the
famine been in the land : and yet there are five
years, in which there shall neither be earing nor
harvest. And God sent me before you to preserve
you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives
by a great deliverance. So now, it was not you
that sent me hither, but God : and he hath made
me as a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house,
and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto
him, Thus saith thy son Joseph. God hath made
me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not:
and thou shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and
thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children,

ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt,

Benjamin wept upon his neck. Moreover, he
kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them : and

THE READING FROM PROVERBS.
Chap. xxi. 23.
Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue, keepeth
his soul from troubles. He who is proud and self-
willed and haughty is called a pest ; and he that
remembereth injuries is a transgressor. The desire
of the slothful killeth him ; for his hands refuse to
labour. The wicked coveteth greedily all the day
long : but the righteous giveth and spareth not.
The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination to the
Lord ; how much more when they bring it with a
wicked mind ? A false witness shall perish : but
the man that heareth speaketh cautiously. A
wicked man hardeneth his face : but as for the
upright, he directeth his way. There is no wisdom
nor courage nor counsel before the Lord against
the ungodly. The horse is prepared against the day
of battle : but safety is of the Lord. (Chap, xxii.)

A good name is rather to be chosen than great
riches, and good favour rather than silver and
gold. The rich and poor meet together : the
Lord is the maker of them all. A prudent man
seeth the evil severely punished and himself is
instructed : but the simple pass on, and are
punished. By wisdom is the fear of the Lord, and
riches, and honour, and life.
Then, Let my prayer be set forth . . (see page

the embalmers to embalm his father : and the
embalmers embalmed Israel. And forty days were
fulfilled for him ; for so are fulfilled the days of
entombment : and the Egyptians mourned for him
threescore and ten days. And when the days of
his mourning were past, Joseph spake unto the
house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found
grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears
of Pharaoh, saying, My father made me swear,
saying, Lo, I die : in my grave which I have
digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt
thou bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I
pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come
again. And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Go up and
bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.
And Joseph went up to bury his father : and with
him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the
elders of his house, and all the elders of the land
of Egypt, and all the house of Joseph, and his
brethren, and his father s house : only their little
ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in
the land of Goshen. And there went up with him

they mourned with a great and very sore
lamentation : and he made a mourning for his
father seven days. And when the inhabitants of
the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the
floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous
mourning to the Egyptians : wherefore the name
of it was called Abel-mizraim, which is beyond
Jordan. And his sons did unto him according as
he commanded them : for his sons carried him
into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the
double cave which Abraham bought with the field
for a possession of a burying-place of Ephron the
Hittite, before Mamre. And Joseph returned into
Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up
with him to bury his father. And when Joseph s
brethren saw that their iather was dead, they said,
Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will cer
tainly requite us all the evil which we did unto
him. And they sent a messenger unto Joseph,
saying, Thy father did command before he died,
saying, So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive. I
pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and

we pray thee forgive the trespass of the servants
of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when
they spake unto him. And they also went unto
him, and they said, Behold, we be thy servants.
And Joseph said unto them, Fear not ; for am I in
the place of God ? But as for you, ye thought evil
against me ; but God meant it unto good, to bring
to pass, as it is this day, to save much people
alive. Now therefore fear ye not : I will nourish
you, and your little ones. And he comforted
them, and spake kindly unto them. And Joseph
dwelt in Egypt, he and his brethren and his
father s house : and Joseph lived an hundred and
ten years. And Joseph saw Ephraim s children of
the third generation : the children also of Machir
the son of Manasseh were brought up upon
Joseph s knees. And Joseph said unto his
brethren, I die : and God will surely visit you, and
bring you out of this land unto the land which he
sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. And
Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel,
saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall
carry up my bones from hence. So Joseph died,
being an hundred and ten years old : and they
buried him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.

husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall
have no need of spoil. She will do him good all
the days of her life. She seeketh wool and flax,
and worketh willingly with her hands. She is like
the merchants ships ; she bringeth her wealth from
afar. She riseth also while it is yet night, and
giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her
maidens. She considereth a field, and buyeth
it : with the fruit of her hands she planteth a
vineyard. She girdeth her loins with strength
and strengthened her arms for labour. She
perceiveth that it is good to labour : her
candle goeth not out by night. She layeth her
hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the
distaff. She stretcheth out her hand to the
poor ; yea, she reacheth forth fruit to the needy.
Her husband is not afraid of the storm for her
household : for all her household are clothed with
scarlet. She maketh her husband coverings of
tapestry ; her clothing is silk and purple. Her
husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth
among the elders of the land. She maketh fine
linen, and selleth to the Persians, and girdles to
the merchants. Strength and honour are her
clothing ; and she shall rejoice in time to come.

She openeth her mouth with wisdom ; and in her
tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well
to the ways of her household, and eateth not the
bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call
her blessed ; her husband also, and he praiseth
her. Many daughters have done virtuously, many
have obtained wealth, but thou excellest and sur-
passest them all. The false charms and vain
beauty of woman are not thine ; but a woman
that is wise is blessed, and she shall praise the
fear of the Lord. Give her of the fruit of her

nursed it. And the child grew, and she brought
him unto Pharaoh s daughter, and he became her

said, Because I drew him out of the water.

came also another messenger, and said, Fire is

speaking, there came also another messenger, and
said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and
drinking wine in their eldest brother s house :
and, behold, there came a great wind from the
wilderness, and smote the four corners of the
house, and it fell upon the young men, and they
are dead ; and I only am escaped alone to tell
thee. Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and
shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground,

Then shall two be in the field ; the one shall be

Watch therefore ; for ye know not what hour
your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the

the thief would come, he would have watched,

hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his
lord hath made ruler over his household, to give
them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant
whom his lord when he cometh shall find so
doing. Verily I say unto you, that he shall make
him ruler over all his goods. But and if that evil

the lord of that servant shall come in a day when
he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is
not aware of, and shall cut him asunder, and
appoint him his portion with the hypocrites:
there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened
unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went
forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them
were wise, and five were foolish. They that were
foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with
them : but the wise took oil in their vessels with
their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they
all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was
a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh ; go
ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose,
and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said
unto the wise, Give us of your oil ; for our lamps
are gone out. But the wise answered, saying,
Not so ; lest there be not enough for us and you :
but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for
yourselves. And while they went to buy, the
bridegroom came ; and they that were ready went
in with him to the marriage : and the door was
shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, say-

Watch therefore ; for ye know neither the day nor

For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling
into a far country, who called his own servants
and delivered unto them his goods. And unto
one he gave five talents, to another two, and to
another one ; to every man according to his
several ability ; and straightway took his journey.
Then he that had received the five talents went
and traded with the same, and made them other
five talents. And likewise he that had received
two, he also gained other two. But he that had
received one went and digged in the earth, and
hid his lord s money. After a long time the lord
of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with
them. And so he that had received five talents
came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord,

lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and

unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as
ye have done it unto one of the least of these
my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Then shall he say also unto them on the left
hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting

you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least
of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go
