Lord bless me to ring these bells! May Your Holy Name be glorified!

Having created all things as one in the beginning with Himself directly, O Lord, now act all things indirectly, with the voice of the ringing of this sanctified every despondency with laziness from remove the hearts of Your faithful, and create Your fear in them with piety and hastening to prayer, creating speed in them for every good deed by Your power, delivering us from observing all the slander of the enemy, and observing the winds that are not harmful from the evil-dissolved air, with the prayers of the Mother of God and all Your saints, as the One Merciful.
