English translation:

Priest: 
Again, let us give thanks to God the Pantocrator, the Father of our Lord, God, and Savior Jesus Christ.

For He also has made us worthy now to stand in this Holy Place, to lift up our hands and to serve His holy name. Let us also ask Him to make us worthy of the communion and partaking of His divine and immortal mysteries.

People: 
Amen.

Priest:
The holy body.

People:
We worship Your holy body.

Priest:
And the precious blood.

People:
and Your precious blood.

Priest:
of His Christ, the Pantocrator, the Lord our God.

Deacon:
Amen. Amen. Pray.

People: 
Lord have mercy.

Priest:
Peace be with You all.

People:
And with your spirit.

O Master, Lord our God, co-creator, the invisible, the infinite, unchangeable, and immeasurable, who has sent His true Light, His only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ the co-eternal Logos.

He who is in the Fatherly bosom at all times has come down and dwelt in the undefiled virginal womb. She, being virgin, gave birth to Him, and her virginity is sealed.

Lo, the angels praise Him, and the heavenly hosts chant to Him, proclaiming and saying, "Holy, holy, koly, is the Lord of hosts. Heaven and earth are full of Your holy glory."

Likewise, we too, the weak and sinful, make us worthy with them, O our Master, the Good One and Lover of Mankind, that with a pure heart we may praise You, with Him and the Holy Spirit. The co-essential Trinity and raise our eyes towards You, our holy Father, who are in the heavens, and say, our Father...
