Orthodox Eastern Church -- Liturgy -- Texts
Every tongue of the orthodox praiseth, and blesseth, and glorifieth thy
most pure childbirth, O god-wedded Mary.
Grant even unto me, an unworthy one, O my Christ, forgiveness of
trespasses, I beseech thee, through the prayers of her that bore thee, as
being compassionate.
I have put my trust in thee, God-bearing one: save me by thy prayers,
and grant me forgiveness of iniquities.
Quicken me, O thou that didst bring forth the life-giver and Saviour:
save me, by thy prayers, thou blessed trust of our souls.
All-undefiled Virgin, who didst conceive in thy womb the Creator of all
things, save our souls by thy prayers.
God-bearing one all-praised, who by word didst above word bring forth the
Word, pray him to save our souls.
Propitiate towards me the judge and thy Son, me, above every man most
iniquitous, effecting this by thy prayers, O thou Queen.
As it is meet we cry to thee, Hail, God-bearing one, pure ever-virgin!
entreating to be saved by thy prayers.
Deliver me from the everlasting fire and the torments that await me, O
parent of God, that I may bless thee.
Despise not the supplications of thy servants, O Queen all-extolled, we
beseech thee, that we may be delivered from every besetment,
From ailments, and from all afflictions, and from dangers deliver us,
even us who fly to thy sacred protection.
Strange is the wonder appertaining thee, God-conceiving one; for the
creator of all things, and our God, for our sake and like us, was born of
thee.
Thy temple, God-bearing one, is declared a free hospital for the sick,
and a place of consolation for afflicted souls.
Most holy God-bearing one, who didst bring forth the Saviour, save thy
servants from dangers, and from every other necessity.
Deliver thy servants from every approaching menace, O most pure Queen,
and from every spiritual and bodily harm.
By thy prayers, O God-bearing Virgin, save all them that betake
themselves to thee, and deliver them from every want and affliction.
Who hieth to thy temple, O most pure God-bearing one, and receiveth not
quickly a spiritual and also a bodily healing?
O Compassionate One, who art besought by all saints and by hosts on high,
cleanse me through her that bore thee.
Spare, O Saviour, the souls of our brethren, who have died in hope of
life, and pardon and forgive their iniquities.
Hail, Virgin, propitiation of the world! hail, vase of divine manna and
golden candlestick of light, O Bride of God!
We sing thee, one God in Trinity, uttering the thrice-holy voice, and
praying that we may obtain salvation.
_Glory._
O Virgin, who didst bring forth the Saviour, and Master, and Lord of the
world! beseech him to save our souls.
_Both now._
Hail, mountain! hail, bush! hail, gate! hail, ladder! hail, divine table!
hail, Queen, aid of all!
Through the prayers, O Gracious One, of thy most pure Mother, and of all
thy Saints, bestow thy mercies upon thy people.
