Hymn of Praise to Mariam
The Third Day


(Hymn of Praise of the Virgin Mariam)




(C) Third Day of The Week - Tuesday







1. The crown of glory, and the origin of our deliverance (or



salvation) and the foundation of our sanctification came into



being in Mariam the Virgin, who brought for us God the



Word, Who became incarnate for our salvation. And after He



became man of a certainty He was perfect God. And for this



reason she gave birth to Him being a Virgin the power of her



bringing forth is a marvelous thing that cannot be described.



Of His own free will, and by the good pleasure of His Father



and the Holy Sprit, He came forth and has delivered us.



O HOLY VIRGIN MARIAM PRAY FOR US.




2. Great is the praise of thy virginity, O Mariam, thou




perfect (or absolute) Virgin, Thou did receive, God was with



thee. Thou art the ladder which Jacob saw reaching from



earth to heaven, with the Angels of God ascending and



descending upon it. (Genesis 28:12).



O HOLY VIRGIN MARIAM PRAY FOR US.







3. Thou art the Bush which Moses saw blazing with fire



and the wood thereof was not consumed (Exodus 3:2).



It was the Son of God Who dwelt in thy womb, and the fire



of His divinity did not consume thy flesh.



O HOLY VIRGIN MARIAM PRAY FOR US.







4. Thou art the Field wherein no seed was sown, and yet



there went forth from thee the Fruit of Life. Thou art the



Treasure-house which Joseph bought, and he found therein



a Pearl, a precious gem, that is to say, our Redeemer



Eeyesus Kristos. Thou did carry in thy womb and did



bring Him forth into the world.



O HOLY VIRGIN MARIAM PRAY FOR US.







5. Rejoice thou, O God-bearer, thou joy of the Angels.



Rejoice thou, who was the woman foretold by the Prophets.



Rejoice thou, for thou hast received the voice of the Angel



Gabriel, the joy of all the world.



O HOLY VIRGIN MARIAM PRAY FOR US.







6. Rejoice thou because it is meet that thou should be



called, “Bearer of God”, Rejoice thou, O thou woman who



delivered Eve. Rejoice thou, for thou didst suckle Him Who



suckled all creation. Rejoice thou, O Holy woman, the



mother of all living beings. We lift our eyes to thee with



entreaty that thou will pray on our behalf.



O HOLY VIRGIN MARIAM PRAY FOR US.







7. O Virgin, O Saint, O Bearer of God, since thou did bring



forth the King, A marvelous mystery dwelt upon thee for our



salvation. We will hold our peace, for we are unable to



search into the matter completely, as the greatness thereof



requires, and will describe that doer of good things, through



the exceedingly great wonder of the manifestation.



O HOLY VIRGIN MARIAM PRAY FOR US.







8. He was the living Word



of the Father who came



down on Mount Sinai, and



gave the law to Moses



(Exodus 20:16) while the



top of the mountain was



covered with mist, and



smoke and the darkness,



and with storm, and with



the terrifying blasts of



trumpets.



He admonished those who



were standing there in fear.



O HOLY VIRGIN MARIAM



PRAY FOR US.


9. It was He who came down to thee, O rational mountain in




the humility of the Lover of men. Without any change He



became incarnate of thee and took a perfect body, endowed



with reason and like unto ourselves, through the spirit of



wisdom. God took up his abode on her and became perfect



man so that He might deliver Adam, and forgive him his sin,



and make him to dwell in heaven, and bring him back to his



former state in His abundant compassion and mercy.



O HOLY VIRGIN MARIAM PRAY FOR US.







10. It is impossible for any to describe the greatness of the



Virgin. For God chose her, and he came and dwelth in the



light, whom none could approach, was carried in her womb



nine months. He who is invisible, He who is invisible, He



who incomprehensible did Mariam bring forth, being a



Virgin. O HOLY VIRGIN MARIAM PRAY FOR US.







11. This is the stone which Daniel the Prophet saw, which



was hewn from a high mountain, without hands (Daniel 2:34-



35), that is to say the Word who went forth from the Father.



He came and became incarnate of the Virgin without seed



of man, and delivered us.



O HOLY VIRGIN MARIAM PRAY FOR US.







12. Thou are the pure twig and the right vessel of the True



Faith of the Saints our Fathers. O thou pure God-bearer,



O thou sealed Virgin, you did bring forth for us the word of



the Father Eeyesus Kristos. He came and he has delivered



us. O HOLY VIRGIN MARIAM PRAY FOR US.



13. Thou are the mother of the Glorious Light, O God-bearer. Thou did carry the Word who is invisible, and after you did



bring him forth you did continue to be a Virgin. With praise



and blessing shall men magnify you.



O HOLY VIRGIN MARIAM PRAY FOR US.







14. What tongue is able to proclaim that which should be



declared concerning you, O thou pure Virgin, Mother of the



Light, the Word of the Father. You were the throne of the



King whom the Cherubim carry. We ascribe blessings unto



you, O blessed woman, and we will remember your name



from generation to generation. O beautiful Dove, Mother of



our Lord Eeyesus Kristos. O HOLY VIRGIN MARIAM



PRAY FOR US.




15. Rejoice thou, O Mary,




Mother and Maid, for unto



Him Who is in thy bosom the Angels bring praises, and the



Cherubim bow down and



worship Him in fear and the



Seraphim spread out their



wings, and say concerning



Him ceaselessly, “This is the



King of Glory”. He came to



forgive the sins of the world in



the greatness of His compassion
 
Oh, Holy Virgin Mariam, Pray for Us.
