The Beatitudes / Y Gwynfydau
In Thy Kingdom remember us, O Lord when Thou comest in Thy Kingdom.
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Blessed are ye when men shall revile you and persecute you and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for my name's sake.
Rejoice and be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in heaven.
The Thrice-Holy Hymn / Yr Emyn Tri-Sanctaidd
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 be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit;
both now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen
Holy Immortal, have mercy on us.
Holy God; Holy Mighty; Holy Immortal, have mercy on us.
The Cherubic Hymn / Yr Emyn Ceriwbiaid
Let us who mystically represent the Cherubim and join with them singing the thrice-holy hymn to the Life-giving Trinity, now lay aside all the cares of this life.
(At this point, the choir stops singing and the clergy come in procession from the altar carrying the offerings of bread and wine and halt, facing the people and making the appointed commemorations, the last of which is "You all and all Orthodox Christians may the Lord God remember in His Kingdom always, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages'. To this the Choir responds with 'Amen' followed immediately by the second part of the Cherubic Hymn)
That we may receive the King of all, invisibly escorted by the ranks of angels. Alleluia. Alleluia. Alleluia.
The Lord's Prayer / 'Ein Tad'
Our Father, which 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 them that trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
'It is meet' / 'Gwir addas dy fendigo…' (Dostoyno Yest)
It is meet and right to call thee blessed who didst bring forth God,
ever-blessed and most pure and the Mother of our God;
more honourable than the Cherubim and beyond compare more glorious than the Seraphim;
thou who without defilement didst bring forth God the Word and art indeed Mother of God,
thee do we magnify!
