Old Byzantine sticheras to the Holy Spirit including the Kalophonic version of O Heavenly King

Tone 4 The Holy Spirit hath ever been, and is, and shall be, neither beginning nor ending; but He is ever ranked and numbered together with the Father and the Son. He is Life, and life-creating; Light, and light-bestowing; by nature good, and the source of goodness; through Him the Father is known, and the Son is glorified; and thereby all men acknowledge a single sovereignty, single covenant, one adoration of the Holy Trinity. Tone 3 Now the Comforting Spirit hath been poured out upon all flesh; for beginning with the assembly of the Apostles, from them He hath extended grace to the believers by participation. And confirmeth His mighty descent by the distribution of tongues in the likeness of fire unto the disciples, to the praise and glory of God. Wherefore, noetically illumined in our hearts, and made steadfast in faith by the Holy Spirit, we beseech Thee that our souls be saved. Tone 7 The Comforter, having come from the Father * through Christ God, * hath come unto us on earth today, ** therefore with faith we worship the Holy Spirit. Tone 6 O Heavenly King, Comforter, Spirit of Truth, Who art everywhere present and fillest all things, Treasury of good things and Giver of life: come and dwell in us, and cleanse us of all impurity, and save our souls, O Good One.
