O M A R Y
Lady of virgins
You attained greatness
From the True Light
You are exalted
By the Lord Himself
You bore the Creator
O what a great marvel!
Wondrous among nations
Wisdom to rulers
A hidden gem
And the gospel spoke of you
They give you blessings
In all generations
O daughter of Joachim
Exalted above the Cherubim
You attained what no one could
O Mother of the Mercy
And you became
Filled with grace
To the Divine you became
A veil for the Word
And greatly marveled
Were you among the scholars
O tabernacle of the covenant
O censer of Aaron
O spirit of glory
O daughter of Zion
O the light of eyes
With you we rejoice
And abide in grace
O full of grace
O full of grace
The fortifying fortress
The jewel of mercy
The aid of the poor
Your son has purged death
O the intercessor of saints
Intercede for us
O Mother of Mercy
Hail to you
O Lady of virgins
O daughter of Joachim
The chosen throne
Righteous is your Son
He purged our shame
The glorious God
The Creator of ages
The adornment of virgins
The holy Mother
The purity of the pure
O light of lights
O jewel of grace
O Mother of Mercy
Truly you are the vine
Filled and bearing fruit
O daughter of Joachim
You attained greatness
You are Jerusalem
Glorious and honored
You are Zion
O precious jewel
You released the captive
From the Deceiver's hand
Your son saved Adam
The repentant sinner
Humanity He set free
From all adversaries
The Lord from your childhood
Witnessed your purity
And therefore has blessed you
Before all nations
He sent you Gabriel
The Messenger of His words
And greeted you saying
The Lord has chosen you
His Holy Spirit
Filled and dwelt within you
Blessed are you O Virgin
Throughout all ages"
The Unseen and Holy
Was born from you
And was called Jesus
For all eyes to see
Moses saw the bush
Blazing with fire
Its branches flaming
Yet the bush was not consumed
The blazing bush
Which Moses had seen
Was indeed Mary
The adornment of virgins
The fire is Jesus
The Holy Lord
Who gave us the Law
Engraved in stone
Isaiah prophesied
About the birth
Of Emmanuel
The Almighty King
Ezekiel saw a door
Through which the Lord entered
He sealed the door and claimed it
Highly exalted
Highly exalted are you
And your Son Jesus
When He was born of you
The earth was adorned
And also Daniel
Prophesied and said
I saw the high throne
Highly exalted
In the firmaments high I saw
One like the Son of Man
Who has dominion
Over all the earth
He is the Lord of Hosts
Around Him are the ranks
Thousands and myriads
Glorifying in reverence
O daughter of Joachim
You are exalted above
The Cherubim and Seraphim
And all righteous fathers
The Lord was born from you
And David praises you
With his harp he sings
Playing its ten strings
The sound of the first string
Is in honor of your name
The Virgin will carry
The Almighty King
And with the second string
David rejoices
Chanting with hymns
While playing his harp
And the third O daughter
Because you were faithful
You were filled with light
And the Lord chose you
The fourth string is sounded
So that all can hear
Of her who is praised
All over the world
The fifth is a sign of hope
As a dove she appears
With Ophir gold
Upon her shoulders
With the sixth he sung
Praises I will not hide
But I will praise with him
And proclaim to all
With the seventh string he said
O mountain of the High God
The High took flesh from you
Without a doubt
And with the eighth he sang
To the Virgin Mary
The Great chose her
And crowned her with honor
With the ninth string he said
From her will surely come
God her son
Who sealed her virginity
With the tenth he sang
The Powerful God
In Zion he appeared
The dwelling of the righteous
There isn't in all ages
Anyone like you O Virgin
For you released the chains
And shame of Adam
O Lady of the creation
The pride of faith
Your servant is in need
Drowning because of sins
Intercede for me
Do not leave your servant
Ask your son to save me
From the fire
For your intercession
Is heard and accepted
And He defends from the attacks
Of the adversary
Arise O poor one
And clothe yourself in faith
And say Amen Amen
For us she intercedes
The persistent servant
Will always praise her
For by his side that Day
The Lady of virgins shall be
