Christmas Tropar, Tone 4:
Your birth, O Christ our God,*

and to recognize You as the Orient from on high.*
Glory be to You, O Lord!

Tropar of St. Joseph, Tone 2:
O Joseph, announce to David, ancestor of Christ,*
the good news of these wonders you have seen:*

with the wise men you have worshipped Him;*
and an angel appeared to you.*
Ask Christ to save our souls.

Glory Be …, Tone 3:

Now and for ever …, Tone 3:
now and for ever and ever. Amen.

Kondak of St. Stephen, Tone 3:
Yesterday the Lord came to us in the flesh,*

and holy Stephen gives up his life.

Alleluia Verses:

Remember, O Lord,* for David all his anxious care.

How he swore to the Lord,* vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob.

Instead of ‘Indeed, it is fitting . . .’:
My soul, praise Christ the King*
born in a cave.*
Behold a strange and wonderful mystery:*
the cave has become heaven,*
the Virgin a throne of the Cherubim,*
and the manger a noble place where Christ our God reposes.*
Wherefore let us praise and exalt Him!.

Communion Verses:
Praise the Lord from the heavens;* praise Him in the highest.

Exult, you just, in the Lord;* praise from the upright is fitting. Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia.
