Tropar, Tone 1:
Hail, Mother of God, Virgin full of grace.*
From you has shown forth the Sun of Justice, Christ our God,*
shining upon those who are in darkness.*
Rejoice also, you just Elder Simeon,*
for you received in your arms the Redeemer of our souls*
who has given us Resurrection.

Glory Be … :
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,*
now and for ever and ever. Amen.

Kondak, Tone 1:
O Christ our God, through your birth You sanctified the Virgin’s womb,*
and blessed, as it was proper, the hands of Simeon.*
Today, You have come to bring us deliverance.*
Give peace to nations at war and strengthen our civil authorities,*
for You alone love mankind.

Prokimen, Tone 3:
My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit has rejoiced in God my savior; and my spirit has rejoiced in God my savior.

verse:  Because He has regarded the humility of His handmaid; for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit has rejoiced in God my savior; and my spirit has rejoiced in God my savior.

Alleluia Verses:

Now, Master, you can dismiss your servant in peace; you have fulfilled your word.

A revealing light to the Gentiles, the glory of your people Israel.

Instead of ‘Indeed, it is fitting’:

O Virgin Mother of God. Hope of Christians,*
protect, watch, and save those who have placed their hope in you.*
We, the faithful, see the figure of Christ in the shadow and the letter of the law*
which says: Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord.*
Therefore, we extol the firstborn of the Eternal Father*
and the Virgin Mother.

Communion Hymn:
I will take the chalice of salvation; and I will call upon the name of the Lord. Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
