First Sunday <strong>of</strong> <strong>Lent</strong><br />
Troparion<br />
Year A<br />
I was adorned, O Son <strong>of</strong> God, at Baptism with your rich gifts <strong>of</strong><br />
grace; but I have loved instead the poverty <strong>of</strong> unbelief, and in my<br />
misery I have become a stranger to the virtues. I have wandered<br />
away into a far country <strong>of</strong> sin; but draw me back now, I pray, my<br />
Saviour, and embrace me, protecting me with your holy Cross for life<br />
eternal. Amen.<br />
Year B<br />
I am like the man who fell among thieves, O Son <strong>of</strong> God and Master<br />
<strong>of</strong> all, for I have fallen among my sins and have been cruelly wounded<br />
by them. Yet leave me not without healing, O Lord, who came not<br />
from faithless Samaria but from the pure Virgin. O Jesus, name that<br />
means salvation, have mercy upon me and save me. Amen.<br />
Year C<br />
The grace <strong>of</strong> abstinence, radiant with the light <strong>of</strong> God, shines upon us<br />
this day more brightly than the sun; illuminating our souls it drives<br />
away the clouds <strong>of</strong> sinful passions. Embracing it with joy, let us run<br />
with good courage the course <strong>of</strong> the season <strong>of</strong> <strong>Lent</strong> now set before<br />
us; and filled with gladness, let us cry to Christ: Sanctify those who<br />
persevere in repentance and faith, O loving Lord. Amen.<br />

<strong>Second</strong> Sunday <strong>of</strong> <strong>Lent</strong><br />
Troparion<br />
Year A<br />
To those who venerate the Cross <strong>of</strong> Christ with all their heart, it is a<br />
restraint on every lust and a law <strong>of</strong> abstinence. Looking ever upon<br />
him who on the Cross was crucified, let us crucify the flesh with its<br />
passions and desires. Let us become one with him who by suffering<br />
his Passion set us free from the passions; and let us ever praise him<br />
for his boundless love and mercy. Amen.<br />
Year B<br />
O worshipful assembly <strong>of</strong> the angels, O wondrous choir <strong>of</strong> saints,<br />
pray fervently to the loving Saviour: may he give us strength to<br />
complete without stumbling the lenten fast, and may he grant us<br />
victory over our spiritual enemies. Amen.<br />
Year C<br />
Like the blind man, I call upon you O Lord from my heart: Son <strong>of</strong><br />
God, give light to the eyes <strong>of</strong> my spirit. Again, like the faithful woman<br />
<strong>of</strong> Canaan I cry to you: Have mercy on me, compassionate Saviour,<br />
for my soul is vexed by the demon <strong>of</strong> self-pleasing. But do you free it<br />
from the darkness <strong>of</strong> the passions, and enable me to live hereafter in<br />
purity <strong>of</strong> heart, that I may ever glorify your loving-kindness. Amen.<br />
Turn to page 9 for the Incensing Psalms<br />

Third Sunday <strong>of</strong> <strong>Lent</strong><br />
Troparion<br />
Year A<br />
Most glorious is the grace <strong>of</strong> this holy fast which you have ordained<br />
O Lord for our repentance. Through it Moses received the tables <strong>of</strong><br />
the law, and the prophet Elijah found the chariot <strong>of</strong> fire, Daniel was<br />
exalted, and Elisha raised the dead; the Three Children quenched the<br />
fire, and all men are reconciled to God. Rejoicing in this dispensation<br />
let us cry aloud: Blessed are you, O Christ our God, for this great<br />
mercy, glory to you. Amen.<br />
Year B<br />
We praise your life-giving Cross, O Lord, and your holy sufferings in<br />
the flesh for our sake: the mockery and spitting, the blows and<br />
buffetings, the purple robe and crown <strong>of</strong> thorns, and the spear and<br />
death, by which you have redeemed us and saved us from the curse<br />
<strong>of</strong> the law. Therefore we beseech you: Grant us to complete this our<br />
lenten season <strong>of</strong> repentance. Amen.<br />
Year C<br />
Having strayed from your narrow way, O Lord, through following my<br />
passions, in my wretchedness I have fallen headlong into the pit. The<br />
Levite and the priest passing by turned from me in disdain, and you<br />
alone O Christ have taken pity on me. Tearing up the record <strong>of</strong> my<br />
sins by the weapon <strong>of</strong> the Cross, you have freed me from the<br />
passions and raised me in glory, enthroning me beside the Father.<br />
And so I cry: O Christ whose mercy is beyond my understanding,<br />
glory to you. Amen.<br />
Turn to page 9 for the Incensing Psalms<br />

Fourth Sunday <strong>of</strong> <strong>Lent</strong><br />
Troparion<br />
Year A<br />
With your unsleeping eye, look upon me and take pity on me, O<br />
Lord; for I am held fast by the drowsiness <strong>of</strong> sloth as I lie upon the<br />
bed <strong>of</strong> my passions, a slave to the sleep <strong>of</strong> sensual comfort. In your<br />
great mercy O Christ you have bowed your head upon the Cross,<br />
and <strong>of</strong> your own will you have arisen from the sleep <strong>of</strong> death. By this<br />
means you have driven back the night <strong>of</strong> sin, and have become for us<br />
the light <strong>of</strong> righteousness. Amen.<br />
Year B<br />
Stretched and slain upon the Cross, O Christ, you have slain the old<br />
serpent our enemy, and those killed by his sting you have restored to<br />
life. Therefore I entreat you, O Saviour: Give life to my deadened<br />
soul as I turn to you the hope <strong>of</strong> eternal glory. Amen.<br />
Year C<br />
O Christ, the life <strong>of</strong> all, you were hung upon the wood <strong>of</strong> the Cross;<br />
restore to life my soul, slain by sins, that I perish not utterly. I have<br />
rebelled against your commandments, and wasted the wealth <strong>of</strong><br />
graces you have given me. Living as the prodigal I have grown<br />
loathsome, but bring me to repentance and renew me, for you alone<br />
are full <strong>of</strong> mercy. Amen.<br />
Turn to page 9 for the Incensing Psalms<br />

Fifth Sunday <strong>of</strong> <strong>Lent</strong><br />
Troparion<br />
Year A<br />
Grant swift and sure encouragement to your servants, O Jesus, when<br />
our spirits are cast down within us. Leave not our souls in affliction,<br />
and be not far from us in time <strong>of</strong> trouble, but always come quickly to<br />
our help. Draw near to us, for you are everywhere, even as you were<br />
ever with your apostles, and in your compassion unite yourself with<br />
those who love you, that with one accord we may ever praise and<br />
glorify you in the Holy Spirit. Amen.<br />
Year B<br />
When you were crucified in the flesh, O Lord, you crucified our<br />
fallen nature with yourself; and when your side was pierced with a<br />
spear, you pierced the serpent that seduced mankind. Nail my flesh<br />
with godly fear and wound my heart with your love, I pray; so that<br />
gazing on your passion and repenting <strong>of</strong> my sins, I may <strong>of</strong>fer you a<br />
humble sacrifice <strong>of</strong> contrition, O you Lover <strong>of</strong> mankind. Amen.<br />
Year C<br />
We worship you, O loving Lord, beseeching you to pardon our<br />
transgressions; for <strong>of</strong> your own free will you mounted the Cross in<br />
our human flesh, so as to deliver from bondage to Satan those whom<br />
you had fashioned. Therefore in thanksgiving we cry out to you: O<br />
Christ our God, you filled all things with joy when you came to save<br />
the world. Amen.<br />
Turn to page 9 for the Incensing Psalms<br />
Palm Sunday<br />
Troparion<br />
He who sits upon the throne <strong>of</strong> the cherubim, for our sake sits today<br />
upon an ass; and coming to his freely willed passion, he hears the<br />
children cry, Hosanna! With the crowd we all reply, O Son <strong>of</strong> David,<br />
make haste to save those you have created, since for this cause you<br />
have come, O blessed Jesus, that we may know your glory. Amen.<br />

Psalm 141<br />
O Lord, I call to you; come to me quickly; *<br />
hear my voice when I cry to you.<br />
Let my prayer be set forth in your sight as incense, *<br />
the lifting up <strong>of</strong> my hands as the evening sacrifice.<br />
Set a watch before my mouth, O Lord, and guard the door <strong>of</strong> my lips; *<br />
let not my heart incline to any evil thing.<br />
-vvvvvvvvb4vvvv5vvvvbbv6vvvvvvv6bbbbbbbbbbvvbvv5vvvvvbvvv3vvvvvvv4vvvvvvbv3vvvvbbvvv2vvvvvvvvvvv}<br />
I lift up my hands to you, O Lord.<br />
Let me not be occupied in wickedness with evildoers, *<br />
nor eat <strong>of</strong> their choice foods.<br />
Let the righteous smite me in friendly rebuke;<br />
let not the oil <strong>of</strong> the unrighteous anoint my head; *<br />
for my prayer is continually against their wicked deeds.<br />
Let their rulers be overthrown in stony places, *<br />
that they may know my words are true.<br />
As when a ploughman turns over the earth in furrows, *<br />
let their bones be scattered at the mouth <strong>of</strong> the grave.<br />
-vbvvvvvvbbb4vvvv5vvvvbbv6vvvvvvv6bbbbbbbbbbvvbvv5vvvvvbbbvv3vvvvvvv4vvvvvvv3vvvvbvvvv2vvvvvvvvvvv}<br />
I lift up my hands to you, O Lord.<br />
But my eyes are turned to you, Lord God; *<br />
in you I take refuge; do not strip me <strong>of</strong> my life.<br />
Protect me from the snare which they have laid for me *<br />
and from the traps <strong>of</strong> the evildoers.<br />

I lift up my hands to you, O Lord.<br />
Praise the Lord, all you nations; *<br />
laud him, all you peoples.<br />
For his loving-kindness toward us is great, *<br />
and the faithfulness <strong>of</strong> the Lord endures for ever. Alleluia.<br />
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,<br />
as it was in the beginning, is now, and shall be for ever. Amen.<br />

We sing the praise <strong>of</strong> him who died,<br />
Of him who died upon the Cross;<br />
The sinner’s hope let men deride,<br />
For this we count the world but loss.<br />
Inscribed upon the Cross we see<br />
In shining letters, ‘God is Love’;<br />
He bears our sins upon the Tree;<br />
He brings us mercy from above.<br />
The Cross! it takes our guilt away;<br />
It holds the fainting spirit up;<br />
It cheers with hope the gloomy day,<br />
And sweetens ev’ry bitter cup.<br />
It makes the coward spirit brave,<br />
And nerves the feeble arm for fight;<br />
It takes its terror from the grave,<br />
And gilds the bed <strong>of</strong> death with light;<br />
The balm <strong>of</strong> life, the cure <strong>of</strong> woe,<br />
The measure and the pledge <strong>of</strong> love,<br />
The sinner’s refuge here below,<br />
The angels’ theme in heaven above.<br />
To you, O Christ, our loving King,<br />
All glory, praise and thanks we bring;<br />
All glory as is ever meet,<br />
To Father and to Paraclete. Amen.<br />
V Those who seek the Lord shall praise him.<br />
R May their hearts rejoice for ever.<br />

The Lord said to my lord, *<br />
‘Sit at my right hand,<br />
until I make your enemies your footstool.’<br />
The Lord commits to you the sceptre <strong>of</strong> your power *<br />
reign from Zion in the midst <strong>of</strong> your enemies.<br />
Noble are you, from the day <strong>of</strong> your birth upon the holy hill; *<br />
radiant are you, even from the womb,<br />
in the morning dew <strong>of</strong> your youth.<br />
The Lord has sworn and will not turn back: *<br />
‘You are a priest for ever after the order <strong>of</strong> Melchizedek.’<br />
The king shall stand at your right hand, O Lord; *<br />
and shatter kings in the day <strong>of</strong> his wrath.<br />
Glorious in majesty, he shall judge among the nations, *<br />
and shatter heads over a wide land.<br />
He shall slake his thirst from the brook beside the way; *<br />
therefore shall he lift up his head.<br />
Glory to …<br />

O praise the Lord.<br />
I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, *<br />
in the company <strong>of</strong> the upright and among the congregation.<br />
The works <strong>of</strong> the Lord are great, *<br />
and studied by all who take delight in them.<br />
His deeds are majestic and glorious, *<br />
and his righteousness stands for ever.<br />
His marvellous acts have won him a name to be remembered; *<br />
the Lord is gracious and merciful.<br />
He gives food to those that fear him; *<br />
he remembers his covenant for ever.<br />
He showed his people the power <strong>of</strong> his acts *<br />
in giving them the heritage <strong>of</strong> the heathen.<br />
The works <strong>of</strong> his hands are faithful and just, *<br />
and all his commandments are sure;<br />
They stand firm for ever and ever, *<br />
they are done in faithfulness and in truth.<br />
He sent redemption to his people,<br />
he ordained his covenant for ever; *<br />
holy is his name and worthy to be feared.<br />
The fear <strong>of</strong> the Lord is the beginning <strong>of</strong> wisdom, and <strong>of</strong> good<br />
understanding are those that keep his commandments; *<br />
his praise shall endure for ever.<br />
