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.

Lord, have mercy. (Thrice)
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

O Lord, attend to my prayer: hearken to my supplication in thy truth; hear me in thy righteousness. And enter not into judgment with thy servant, for in thy sight shall no man living be justified. For the enemy has persecuted my soul; he has brought my life down to the ground; he has made me to dwell in a dark place, as those that have been long dead. Therefore my spirit was grieved in me; my heart was troubled within me. I remembered the days of old; and I meditated on all thy doings: yea, I meditated on the works of thine hands. I spread forth my hands to thee; my soul thirsts for thee, as a dry land. Pause. Hear me speedily, O Lord; my spirit has failed; turn not away thy face from me, else I shall be like to them that go down to the pit. Cause me to hear thy mercy in the morning; for I have hoped in thee; make known to me, O Lord, the way wherein I should walk; for I have lifted up my soul to thee. Deliver me from mine enemies, O Lord; for I have fled to thee for refuge. Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God; thy good Spirit shall guide me in the straight way. Thou shalt quicken me, O Lord, for thy name's sake; in thy righteousness thou shalt bring my soul out of affliction. And in thy mercy thou wilt destroy mine enemies, and wilt destroy all those that afflict my soul; for I am thy servant.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, glory to Thee, O God (Thrice).
God is the Lord and hath appeared unto us; blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord.
O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy endureth for ever.
All the nations compassed me about, and in the name of the Lord I withstood them.
I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.
The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner; this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes.
As the first-called of the apostles and brother of their chief, O Andrew, entreat the Master of all to grant peace to the world and great mercy to our souls.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As the first-called of the apostles and brother of their chief, O Andrew, entreat the Master of all to grant peace to the world and great mercy to our souls.
Both now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
We will never cease, O Theotokos, we the unworthy, from speaking of thy mighty acts; for hadst thou not stood before us to intercede, who would have delivered us from so many dangers? And who would have kept us free until now? We will not depart from thee, O Lady, for thou ever savest thy servants from all misfortunes.
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy great mercy; and according to the multitude of thy compassions blot out my transgression. Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I am conscious of mine iniquity; and my sin is continually before me. Against thee only have I sinned, and done evil before thee: that thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. For, behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother conceive me. For, behold, thou lovest truth: thou hast manifested to me the secret and hidden things of thy wisdom. Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be purified: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow. Thou shalt cause me to hear gladness and joy: the afflicted bones shall rejoice. Turn away thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit in my inward parts. Cast me not away from thy presence; and remove not thy Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of thy salvation: establish me with thy directing Spirit. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and ungodly men shall turn to thee. Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation: and my tongue shall joyfully declare thy righteousness. O Lord, thou shalt open my lips; and my mouth shall declare thy praise. For if thou desiredst sacrifice, I would have given it: thou wilt not take pleasure in whole-burnt-offerings. Sacrifice to God is a broken spirit: a broken and humbled heart God will not despise. Do good, O Lord, to Sion in thy good pleasure; and let the walls of Jerusalem be built. Then shalt thou be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness, offering, and whole-burnt-sacrifices: then shall they offer calves upon thine altar.
The wonder-working rod of Moses of old, striking in the form of the Cross and dividing the Red Sea, drowned Pharaoh the charioteer and saved Israel, who fled across on foot singing a song to the Lord, for He hath been gloriously glorified.
O holy apostle Andrew, pray to God for us.

Both now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
Rejoice, fountain of joy; rejoice, gate of heaven; rejoice, lampstand and jar of pure gold, who didst carry Christ, the Giver of life.

O holy apostle Andrew, pray to God for us.
Like a hart thou didst hasten, not called but of thine own will, to the living fountain; and having found it, thou didst make it known to all; and having drunk, thou didst give the water of incorruption to drink to all the ends of the earth, worn out with thirst.
O holy apostle Andrew, pray to God for us.
Thou didst destroy the temples of idols and raise up churches, O God-bearing one, and didst establish in them the faithful children of baptism, born anew of water and by the grace of the Spirit.
O holy apostle Andrew, pray to God for us.
The priceless pearl hidden in thy heart thou didst show to the ends of the world, O glorious Andrew; and the nations, treasuring it up by faith, found it lying before them.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
Let us sing with faith the consubstantial Trinity, without beginning, uncreated, one in essence, co-enthroned, in three hypostases, of threefold radiance, through whom things visible and invisible were made.

Look down with favour upon us, O all-praised Theotokos, and heal the grievous wounds of our bodies and the sicknesses of our souls.
Priest: The augmented litany with its exclamation
As the first-called of all the disciples, an eyewitness and minister of the Word, O apostle Andrew, we honour thee as is meet; for with undoubting faith thou didst fervently follow the Lamb who taketh away the sins of the world, and so thou wast shown a partaker of the Passion of Him who for our sake endured death in the flesh. Therefore we sing to thee: entreat Christ God to grant forgiveness of sins to them that lovingly keep thy holy memory.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

At that time, Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him. And going on from thence, He saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and He called them. And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed Him. And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.

Let us praise in song today Andrew, the herald and faithful minister of Christ; for with wisdom he catches men out of the abyss and the deep, and, holding in his hands the wood of the Cross in place of a rod and the divine power in place of the cords of a net, the blessed one thus bravely draws souls up from the depths of ignorance and offers them as a royal gift before God. Him, O ye faithful, let us ever honour as is meet, together with the assembly of Christ’s disciples, that he may make God merciful to us on the day of judgement.

Beholding the desired God walking upon the earth in the flesh, O beholder of God and first-called, thou didst cry to thy brother by blood: Rejoice, O Simon, for we have found the desired Deliverer, foretold by David: ‘As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after Thee, O Christ God.’ Therefore thou didst add desire to desire, even death on the cross, which thou didst long for; and as a true disciple, O wise one, thou becamest truly an imitator of His Passion by the cross, and therefore also a partaker of His glory. Entreat with compunction for our souls.
