"Behold! The bridegroom comes in the middle of the night and blessed is the servant whom he shall find watching, and unworthy the servant whom he shall find heedless. Take care then, O my soul, and be not weighed down by sleep that you will not be given over unto death and be excluded from the Kingdom. But rise up and call out: 'Holy, Holy, Holy art Thou O God, by the Theotokos have mercy on us!'"
