O holy Lord, Who dwell on high
And yet bebold the things below,
Who look upon all creation
With Your all-encompassing eye:
To You do we bow in spirit and in body,
And to You do we pray, O Holy of Holies.
Extend Your invisible hand
From Your holy dwelling-place and bless us all.
The Horologion (Church Slavonic: Chasoslov), or Book of Hours, provides the Acolouthia, or fixed portions, of the Daily Cycle of services as used by the Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Churches. Into this fixed framework, numerous moveable parts of the services are inserted.
Thanks to the devoted and assiduous work of Rev. Father Michael Skrocki, the new Horologion contains the entire Divine Office, as in the first edition, plus: the daily troparia and kontakia for each day of the year from the Menaion; the Akathist and Paraklesis; the Paschal Hour; and an expanded music section which includes, along with the music for each tone, the service music for Vespers, Orthros, and Akathist.
The Horologion is primarily a book for the use of the Reader and Cantor, although this volume provides the parts of the Priest and Deacon.

Deign, O Lord, at this very hour
To receive our supplications
And to direct our lives
In the way of Your commandments.
Sanctify our souls, purify our bodies,
Set our minds aright, cleanse our thoughts.
Delivery us from every affliction, wrath, danger and need.
Surround us with Your holy Angles,
So that, guided and guarded in their camp,
We may reach the oneness of the Faith
And the knowledge of Your unutterable glory,
O You Who are blessed for ever and ever. Amen.
