places, give thanks to Thee, O holy Lord, Father Almighty, Eternal God. Through Christ Our Lord; through Whom the angels praise Thy Majesty, the dominations adore, the powers do hold in awe, the heavens, and the virtues of the heavens, and the blessed seraphim, do celebrate with united joy. In union with whom, we beseech Thee that Thou wouldst command our voices also to be admitted with suppliant confession, saying: Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Sabaoth. Heaven and earth are full of Thy glory. Hosanna in the highest! Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!
During the Canon.
WE therefore humbly pray and beseech Thee, most merciful Father, through Jesus Christ Thy Son, Our Lord [he kisses the altar], that Thou wouldst vouchsafe to accept and bless these gifts, these presents, these holy unspotted sacrifices, which, in the first place, we offer Thee for Thy holy Catholic Church, to which vouchsafe to grant peace: as also to protect, unite and govern it
