Blessed are You, O Lord; teach me Your statutes. The Choir of the Saints has found the Fountain of Life, and the Door of Paradise. May I also find the way through repentance I am the sheep that was lost ; call me up to You, O Saviour, and save me. Blessed are You, O Lord; teach me Your statutes. You Who did fashion me of old out of nothingness, and with Your Image divine did honor me; but because of transgressions of Your commandments did return me again to the earth from whence I was taken; lead me back to be refashioned into that ancient beauty of Your Likeness. Blessed are You, O Lord; teach me Your statutes. I am the image of Your unutterable glory, though I bear the scars of my stumblings. Have compassion upon me, the work of Your hands, O Sovereign Lord, And cleanse me through Your loving kindness; and the homeland of my heart’s desire bestow on me By making me a citizen of Paradise. Blessed are You, O Lord; teach me Your statutes. Give rest, O God, to the souls of your servant, and appoint for them a place in Paradise; where the choirs of the Saints, O Lord, and the just will shine forth like stars; to Your servants that are sleeping now Give rest, overlooking all his (her) offenses. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
