Praise be to God, Who hath ever endured through the eternity of His Own Essence, Who hath remained the All-Subsisting through the transcendence of His Own Being, and Who is exalted above all things [3.5s]... ...Glory be unto Thee, O Lord my God! I beseech Thee by Thy name whereby Thou hast made the rivers of Thy holy unity to flow
