O God, who hast constituted the services of Angels and of men in a wonderful order, mercifully grant, that they who ever stand before Thy face to do Thee service in heaven, may also defend our life upon earth.
Through our Lord…

Lesson from the book of Revelation
Apoc 5:11-14
In those days: I heard the voice of many Angels round about the throne, and the living creatures and the ancients; and the number of them was thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice: The Lamb that was slain is worthy to receive power, and divinity, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and benediction. And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard all saying: To Him that sitteth on the throne, and to the Lamb, benediction, and honor, and glory, and power, for ever and ever. And the four living creatures said: Amen. And the four and twenty ancients fell down on their faces, and adored Him that liveth for ever and ever.

Apoc 5:11-14
In diébus illis: Audívi vocem Angelórum multórum in circúitu throni, et animálium, et seniórum, et erat númerus eórum mília mílium, dicéntium voce magna: Dignus est Agnus, qui occísus est, accípere virtútem, et divinitátem, et sapiéntiam, et fortitúdinem, et honórem, et glóriam, et benedictiónem. Et omnem creatúram, quæ in cœlo est, et super terram, et sub terra, et quæ sunt in mari, et quæ in eo: omnes audívi dicéntes: Sedénti in throno, et Agno: benedíctio, et honor, et glória, et potéstas in sǽcula sæculórum. Et quátuor animália dicébant: Amen. Et vigínti quátuor senióres cecidérunt in fácies suas: et adoravérunt vivéntem in sǽcula sæculórum.

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to St. John.
John 1:47-51
At that time: Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him: and He saith of him: Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no guile. Nathanael saith to Him: Whence knowest Thou me? Jesus answered, and said to him: Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee. Nathanael answered Him, and said: Rabbi, Thou art the Son of God, Thou art the King of Israel. Jesus answered, and said to him: Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, thou believest: greater things than these shalt thou see. And He said to him: Amen, amen I say to you, you shall see the heavens opened, and the Angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.

Joann 1:47-51
In illo témpore: Vidit Jesus Nathánaël veniéntem ad se, et dicit de eo: Ecce vere Israëlíta, in quo dolus non est. Dicit ei Nathánaël: Unde me nosti? Respóndit Jesus, et dixit ei: Priúsquam te Philíppus vocáret, cum esses sub ficu, vidi te. Respóndit ei Nathánaël, et ait: Rabbi, tu es Fílius Dei, tu es Rex Israël. Respóndit Jesus, et dixit ei: Quia dixi tibi: Vidi te sub ficu, credis: majus his vidébis. Et dicit ei: Amen, amen dico vobis, vidébitis cœlum apértum, et Ángelos Dei ascen-déntes, et descendéntes supra Fílium hóminis.

We offer unto Thee, O Lord, the Sacrifice of praise and humbly beseech Thee, that through the prayers of the Angels who plead for us, Thou wouldst graciously accept it and make it of avail to us for salvation.
Through our Lord…

Preface

Common
It is truly meet and just, and profitable unto salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks to Thee, O Holy Lord, Father Almighty, eternal God, through Christ, our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominions adore it, the Powers are in awe. Which the heavens and the hosts of heaven together with the blessed Seraphim joyfully do magnify. And do Thou command that it be permitted us to join with them in confessing Thee, while we say with lowly praise:

Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: per Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Per quem majestátem tuam laudant Angeli, adórant Dominatiónes, tremunt Potestátes. Cæli cælorúmque Virtútes ac beáta Séraphim sócia exsultatióne concélebrant. Cum quibus et nostras voces ut admítti jubeas, deprecámur, súpplici confessione dicéntes:
