Here is today's prayer:

Angelic Hymn
From Orthodox Book of Common Prayers
Just as the exalted angels and the Arch-angels of heaven, sing praises to Thee, so like them, we frail and earthly ones, glorify Thee and say at all times, and in all moments.

Glory be to God on High, and on earth peace and concord and good hope to men.

We praise Thee,
We glorify Thee,
We worship Thee,
We raise to Thee songs of praise.

We praise Thee, for the greatness of Thy glory,
O Lord Creator, heavenly King, God the Father Almighty
And Thee, O Lord God only begotten Son, Jesus Christ
And Thee O Holy Spirit.

O Lord God, Lamb of God,
Son and word of the Father,
who bearest and hast borne the sins of the world,
have mercy upon us.

Thou who hearest,
and hast borne the sins of the world,
please listen to us and accept our prayer.

Thou who sittest in glory,
at the right hand of the Father,
have compassion and mercy upon us.

Thou art alone the holy, O Lord, Jesus Christ,
Thou and the Holy Spirit are the only worthy
to receive the glory of God, the Father.

We praise Thy Holy Name at all times,
and in all the days of our lives.
Thou Name will be blessed for ever.

Almighty God, God of our fathers,
blessed art Thou,
and glorious is Thy Name,
and exalted by praises for ever and ever.

Meeting with Thee is glory;
Becoming to Thee is praise;
Befitting to Thee is adoration,
O God of all, the Father of Truth,
with Thine Only-begotten Son,
and the living Holy Spirit,
now and always,
for ever and ever.

Amen.
