The Troparion

Behold the Bridegroom comes in the midst of the night, and blessed is the servant, whom He shall find vigilant; again, unworthy is the one whom He shall find heedless. Beware, therefore, O my soul, that sleep does not overtake you, lest you be given up to death, and be shut out from the Kingdom. Therefore, rouse yourself up and cry out: ‘Holy, Holy, Holy are You, our God, through the Theotokos, have mercy on us.’

Translated by Father Yeorgios L. Papadeas

Original Lyrics

Αλληλουϊάριον, και το τροπάριο «Ιδού ο Νυμφίος έρχεται...»

Ήχος πλ.δ΄

Στιχ. Δικαιοσύνην μάθετε, οι ενοικούντες επί της γης.
Αλληλούια, Αλληλούια, Αληλλούια

Το Τροπάριον

Ιδού ο Νυμφίος έρχεται εν τω μέσω της νυκτός· και μακάριος ο δούλος, ον ευρήσει γρηγορούντα· ανάξιος δε πάλιν, ον ευρήσει ραθυμούντα. Βλέπε ουν ψυχή μου, μη τω ύπνω κατενεχθής, ίνα μη τω θανάτω παραδοθής, και της Βασιλείας έξω κλεισθής· αλλά ανάνηψον κράζουσα· Άγιος, Άγιος, Άγιος ει ο Θεός ημών, δια της Θεοτόκου, ελέησον ημάς.
