_____________________
* Instead of playing Wagner's "Bridal Chorus" ("Here Comes the Bride") as a processional, it is more appro-
priate at an Orthodox wedding to chant an Orthodox hymn. According to some local traditions "It is truly
right" is chanted in second mode (see page 5) as a processional. Another troparion that is chanted in some
places as a processional is "Awed by the beauty." On this page is the heirmological (brief) version, and on
page 3 is the sticheraric (long) version. www.stanthonysmonastery.org/music/Mysteries.htm

Verses:

Blessed are all they that fear the Lord, that walk in His ways.
Thou shalt eat the fruit of thy labours;
Blessed art thou, and well shall it be with thee.
Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine on the sides of thy house,
Thy sons like young olive trees round about thy table.
Behold, so shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.
The Lord bless thee out of Sion, and mayest thou see the good things of Jerusalem all the
days of thy life.
And mayest thou see thy children's children; peace be upon Israel.
