Glory to Thee for Thy love (prayer of St. Ephraim the Syrian)

Glory to Thee for Thy love.

Glory to Thee for Thy mercy.

Glory to Thee for Thy patience.

Glory to Thee for forgiving us all our sins.

Glory to Thee for coming to save our souls.

Glory to Thee for Thine incarnation in the Virgin’s womb.

Glory to Thee for Thy bonds.

Glory to Thee for receiving the cut of the lash.

Glory to Thee for accepting mockery.

Glory to Thee for Thy crucifixion.

Glory to Thee for Thy burial.

Glory to Thee for Thy resurrection.

Glory to Thee who were preached to men and women.

Glory to Thee in whom they believed.

Glory to Thee who were taken up into Heaven.

Glory to Thee who sit in great glory at the Father’s right hand.

Glory to Thee whose will it is that the sinner should be saved

through Thy great mercy and compassion.

St. Ephraim the Syrian
4th century

Christ is in our midst!
