    Also a great question, that requires a longer answer. This is a topic for Typikon 102, but let me outline it here:

      God is the Lord
      Kathismata (from the Octoechos)
      Psalm 50
      Canon Odes 1-3 (Octoechos and Menaion) without Katavasias
      Chant the Heirmos of Ode 3 at the end of Ode 3
      Mid-Ode Kathismata
      Odes 4 – 6
      Chant the Heirmos of Ode 6 at the end of Ode 6
      Kontakion and Oikos (from Menaion, but if there is none, from the Octoechos)
      Synaxarion
      Odes 7&8
      Chant the Heirmos of Ode 8 at the end of Ode 8
      More Honorable
      Ode 9 of the Canon
      Chant the Heirmos of Ode 9 at the end of Ode 9
      It is truly meet, in the mode of Ode 9 Heirmos
      Exapostelaria
      Read the Praises (omitted in most Greek churches) through Glory, Both Now
      Priest: “It is good to give praise unto the Lord…”
      Small Doxology is read
      Petition: “Let us complete our morning prayer…”
      Aposticha
      Trisagion
      Dismissal Hymns
      Litany of Fervent Supplication
      Reader: “The Lord God make steadfast…”
      Priest does the dismissal.
