☦ Eastern Orthodox Holy Week Matins - 'Behold the Bridegroom Cometh'
'Bridegroom Troparion' ('Behold the Bridegroom Cometh')Behold, the Bridegroom comes at midnight, and blessed is the servant whom He shall find watching; and again, unworthy is the servant whom He shall find heedless. Beware, therefore, O my soul, do not be weighed down with sleep, lest you be given up to death and lest you be shut out of the Kingdom. But rouse yourself crying: Holy, holy, holy, art Thou, O our God. Through the Theotokos, have mercy on us.
