Ramsho

The Prolouge

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, one true God.

Glory be to Him; and may His grace and mercy be upon us for ever. Amen

Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty, the heaven and the earth are full of your glory; Hosanna in the highest.

Blessed is He who has come, and is to come in the name of the Lord; glory be to Him in the highest.

Qauma

Holy art Thou, O God.

Holy art Thou, Almighty;

Holy art Thou, Immortal;

+ (O Thou who was) Crucified for us, have mercy on us. (Thrice)

Lord, have mercy upon us,

Lord, be kind and have mercy upon us;

Lord, accept our prayers and supplications and have mercy upon us.

Glory be to Thee, O God;

Glory be to Thee, O creator;

Glory be to Thee, O Christ, the King who does pity sinners, Thy servants. Barekhmor.

Our Father, who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread: and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one; for Thine is the Kingdom, the Power and the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

(This following prayer is technically not part of the Qawma and need not be repeated each time)

Hail Mary, full of grace, Our Lord is with Thee. Blessed art Thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb, our Lord, Jesus Christ. O Virgin Saint Mary, O Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at all times, and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Prayer before Ramsho

Introductory Prayer of Ramsho

Grant us, Lord God, that while our bodies rest from the labours of the day and our souls are released from worldly thoughts, we may stand in your presence with tranquillity at this time of evening and that we may offer you ceaseless praise and uninterrupted thanksgiving; that we may acknowledge your loving kindness by which you direct and rule our lives and protect and save our souls; to you we offer praise and thanksgiving, now and always and for ever. Amen.
