Akathist Hymn to the Blessed Virgin Mary

The entire service is either sung or chanted, preferably sung, to traditional melodies. If the melodies are unknown, a chanting 'recto tono' will suffice, though much of the grandeur will be lost. This is an Eastern Catholic Devotion to Mary
[Leader]: Blessed is our God, always, now and forevermore. Amen.
O Heavenly King, Comforter, Spirit of Truth, You are everywhere presetn and fit all things. Treasury of blessings, and giver of life, come and dwell within us, cleanse us of all stain, and save our souls, O Gracious one!
Holy God, Holy and Mighty, Holy and Immortal one, have mercy on us. (Three times)
O most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us! O Lord, cleanse us of our sins! O Master, forgive our transgressions! O holy one, come to us and heal our infirmities for your name's sake!
Lord, have mercy. (Three times)
Glory be to the father and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit , now and ever, and forever, Amen.
Our father who art in heaven , hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom, 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 those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom and the power and glory, Father+, son, and Holy Spirit, now and forever. Amen
Let Us Pray To The Lord.
[Response]: Lord, have mercy!
