I Praise the Virgin

Your love embraced me,
O pride of nations,
Moses has seen you,
Surprise and marvel.
And the lamps are bright,
With golden crosses,
O Mary Moses' dome
O Aaron's censer.

I praise the Virgin,
And explain and say,
O the origin,
And the hidden pearl.

The salvation of our race,
Was through your Son,
We reached the goal,
And You brought us joy.

Was truly incarnate,
From a virgin girl,
Crucified and died,
For us at Golgotha.

The fruit of my pledge,
O daughter of Zion,
Is to love my God,
And proclaim and say.

Gabriel came,
With tidings and sayings,
You accepted his word,
In calmness and wisdom.

He dwelt by His Word:
In strength and power:
You became like heaven:
O, daughter of Zion.

Your love embraced me,
O pride of nations,
Moses has seen you,
Surprise and marvel.
And the lamps are bright,
With golden crosses,
O Mary Moses' dome
O Aaron's censer.

He saved Adam:
After his sorrow:
And has freed the world:
We rejoice in you:

He is glorified:
And promised His Apostles:
To save His people:
From Satan's bondage.

Concerning you, David said:
The King rejoiced in you:
And took flesh from you:
The Lord on His Throne:

Myriads and thousands:
Standing around the Throne:
Ranks and orders:
Saints and martyrs

Sorrow was taken away:
And we are comforted:
Through you O Mary:
The pride of the human race

Salome witnessed:
That the virgin gave birth:
She believed and conformed:
The mystery of mysteries.

Your love embraced me,
O pride of nations,
Moses has seen you,
Surprise and marvel.
And the lamps are bright,
With golden crosses,
O Mary Moses' dome

Solomon your father:
Praised in hymns and songs:
And Jacob saw you:
An upright ladder:

The leaders had proclaimed:
O fruitful vine:
You're a Virgin and bride:
As they prophesied.

Zephaniah proclaimed:
That Jesus will appear:
As rain and dew:
While her Virginity is sealed:

Eve caused Adam to stray:
In tears he cried:
Naked he was exiled:
Without you they would not return

Your rank is up high:
And great is your glory:
The Lord honored you:
O, Aaron's censer:

Many praised you:
You're the cause of all joy:
You comfort everyone:
Who's sorrowful and humble

Your love embraced me:
O pride of nations:
Moses has seen you:

My heart rejoices in you:
O, Virgin Mary:
Ask your Son Jesus:
To protect me by His Might:

Existent before the ages:
Suffered and was crucified:
He rose from His sleep:
And the Disciples preached.

The righteous Apostles:
And the four Evangelists:
Preached in all nations:
The tidings with joy:

Glory is due to you:
O, daughter of Joachim:
You bore a great mystery:
And gave birth to the Most High.

Moses and Daniel:
Said many parables:
And you fit all that:
Mysteriously and more:

You caused the world to shine:
O, the pride of faith:
All the creatures were free:
Because of you, Mary

Your love embraced me:
O pride of nations:
Moses has seen you:
Surprise and marvel:

Gifts were offered in faith:
To the King of kings:
By the great Magi:
Myrrh, gold and frankincense:

They worshipped the born King:
The Lord of lords:
And Herod was terrified:
And his soldiers marveled.

Do not forsake at that time:
A poor and humble sinner:
Interceed on Judgment Day:
For all the Christians:

We ask of Him forgiveness:
Faith and repentance:
To be in calmness:
We the believers

Your love embraced me:
O pride of nations:
Moses have seen you:
Surprise and marvel:
And the lamps are bright:
With golden crosses:
O Mary, Moses' dome:
O Aaron's censer.
