by St. John Chrysostom
Glory to You, our God, glory to You.
Glory to You, O Lord our God,
Who always overlooks our sins.
Glory to you.
O Lord our God,
who enabled me to see this day.
Glory to You,
O most-holy Trinity, our God.
I venerate Your ineffable goodness.
I praise Your inexplorable forbearance.
I thank and glorify Your infinite mercy.
For although I deserve
every punishment and chastisement,
You have mercy and do good to me
With myriads of blessings.
Glory to You,
O Lord my God,
for everything.
Amen.
From a Translation by Esther Williams, The Path of Prayer (Praxis, 1992).
