Typika - Chants in Western Notation

Typika:  When a priest is not present in order to celebrate the Divine Liturgy

standing, preferably facing east, in front of an icon of our Savior, with a candle

+ In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

If Typika is not preceded by Matins:

Through the prayers of our Holy Fathers, O Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us and save us.

Trisagion Prayers:

O heavenly King, O Comforter, the Spirit of truth, who art in all places and fillest all things; Treasury of good things and Giver of life: Come and dwell in us and cleanse us from every stain, and save our souls, O gracious Lord.
Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal: have mercy on us. (Thrice)

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

All-holy Trinity, have mercy on us. Lord, cleanse us from our sins. Master, pardon our iniquities. Holy God, visit and heal our infirmities for thy Name’s sake.

Lord, have mercy. (3x)

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Exceptions:

Replace the saying of “O Heavenly King…” with the following:
From Pascha to the Ascension: 

Christ is Risen 
https://resources.myrrhbearers.ca/sites/default/files/Christ-is-Risen_Byzantine-English-and-Greek.pdf

Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and upon those in the tombs bestowing life! (3 times)
From Ascension to its leave-taking:
Thou hast ascended in glory, Christ our God, granting joy to Thy disciples by the promise of the Holy Spirit. Through the blessing, they were assured that Thou art the Son of God, the redeemer of the world.
 On the Saturday before Pentecost, just omit “O Heavenly King…” 
Lord have mercy. (12x)

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever and to the ages of ages. Amen.
