The Agios o Theos is a hymn commonly known as the Trisagion or the Thrice Holy Hymn in the Byzantine church. The byzantine church sings it in every Liturgy. It used to be in the liturgy for good friday and was sung alternately between Greek and Latin. I have a 1957 missal that has it. Can anyone tell me if the 1962 missal has it as a hymn for Good Friday? The English for the words goes like this.

Holy God, Holy and Might, Holy and Immortal, Have mercy on us.

By clicking on the link below you can listen to the Byzantines chant it. It begins about 18 minutes into the liturgy.

So can anyone tell me if it is in the 1962 missal for Good Friday? It was right after the reproaches in the 1957 missal.
 
I want to hear that hymn on Good Friday. I really liked it every time I attended the Byzantine Liturgy. It would be a shame if it was not there. It is one of the oldest prayers of the Church.

Yes.
 
It is in the 1962 missal on Good Friday and it is still in the current missal on the same day.

What? It is in the current missal? Are you sure about that? I thought it was removed.
 
I actually just found a little missal that I forgot I had. It does have it. I am glad, this is a beautiful prayer. Thanks.
