Tone 8 On Holy and Great Monday Behold, the Bridegroom cometh in the middle of the night, and blessed is that servant whom he shall find watching, unworthy however, is he whom he shall find slothful. Thus beware, O my soul, be not overcome by sleep, lest thou be given over to death and find the door of the Kingdom shut against thee. But arouse thyself and cry aloud: Holy, holy, holy art thou, O God, * through the protection of the holy Angels, save us.
