Lord of the Powers, Κύριε τῶν Δυνάμεων
This beautiful hymn/prayer is very appropriate for our post-modern
era.
“Lord of the Powers, be with us; for in times of distress we have no other help but you. Lord of the Powers, have mercy on us.”
“Lord, forgive those who hate us and those who wrong us; do good to those who do good; to our brethren and relatives, grant their requests for salvation and eternal life; visit the sick and grant them healing; govern those at sea; accompany the travelers; to those who serve us and those who help us grant remission of sins; forgive those who have asked us to pray for them and have mercy on them according to Your great mercy.”
This taken from Great Apodeipnon (Compline, the prayers for late
evening, roughly 9 PM, after dinner, before bedtime). There are two distinct Apodeipnon services: a
lesser one (Μικρό Απόδειπνο) and a greater one (Μέγα Απόδειπνο). Sorry, I could not find this prayer sung in English. It may be necessary to copy and paste the longer
links into your web browser.
