The Repose of Saint John the Evangelist and Apostle 4

1And when Saint John the Evangelist had made an end of saying these words, he took bread, and he gave thanks unto God in this manner, saying, 'What other blessing is there? Or what other word can be spoken? Or what other giving of thanks is there which we can pronounce over this bread [which] we break, except Thou alone, the Lord Jesus, the Christ?

2'We ascribe glory unto Thee, O Lord Jesus the Christ, Whose Name hath been made manifest by the Father.

3'We ascribe glory unto Thee because of Thy coming in through the door.

See also: John 10:9

4'We ascribe glory unto Thee for Thy holy resurrection from the dead, which hath been made known unto us through Thee.

5'We ascribe glory unto Thee, the Way.

See also: John 14:6

6'We ascribe glory unto Thee, the Seed, the Word, the Salt, the True Gem, the Holy Storehouse, the Plough, the Net, the Majesty, Who was sent for the sake of us, the children of men, that He might deliver the race of man.

7'We ascribe glory unto Thee, the Truth, the Rest, the Glory, the Mighty Power, the Commandment, the Boldness of speech, the Freedom, [and] our place of refuge.

8'For Thou art the Lord, the Root of immortality. Thou art the Fountain which cannot be destroyed. Thou art the Strength which endureth throughout the Ages. Thy Name hath been set upon all these things here, so that we also may make our cry unto Thee through them. For we know Thy Majesty which is invisible, and which doth not make itself manifest unto us at this time. When Thou shalt have purified us, then we shall see Thee alone in the body which Thou hast changed from oldness into newness.'
