    I have noticed that in your "Vigil" material, you indicate that the beginning of Great Vespers is:
    priest -- sing "O Com let us worship...."
    reader: usual beginning for Vespers
    Choir -- sing "Bless the Lord...."
    Priest/choir: Great Litany

    It has been my experience that when Vespers forms part of a Vigil
    there is NO READING of "O Heavenly King..." Trisagion, Lord's Prayer.

    The opening is:
    priest [with censer]: Glory to the Holy ...
    choir: Amen
    clergy: O Come, let us worship ....
    choir: Psalm -- Bless the Lord... [priest censes Temple]
    priest [deacon]/ choir: Great Litany.

    Perhaps it is different in your tradition.

    Yes, you are correct. We do the opening as you describe, singing Bless the Lord. I guess I meant usual Vespers beginning at Vigil. Thanks.

      But there is nothing for the reader to chant between the clergy's "O Come let us worship...." and the choir's "Bless the Lord, O my soul...."
