Following each stasis is a doxology, during which we stand and say:

Glory to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, glory to Thee, O God. (x3)

Lord, have mercy. (x3)

Glory to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Through the prayers of our holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us, and save us.
