 eir masters\, as the eyes of a maid are on the hands of her mistress\, so 
 are our eyes on the Lord our God until He has mercy on us.\n\nSince I stan
 d condemned by my evil thoughts and deeds\, O Saviour\,* grant me the thou

  of the mockery of the rich\, of the contempt of the proud.\n\nYour confes
 sion before the judgment seat\, O Saints\,* cast down the power of the dem
 ons\,* and freed mankind from deception.* Wherefore\, as you were beheaded
 \, you cried aloud:* May the sacrifice of our lives be acceptable to You\,
  O Lord\,* for out of longing for You we have disdained this fleeting life
 \,* O Lover of mankind.\n\nTone 2\, Glory… Now…\n\nAfter Your arising\
