Rejoice, thou Bride unwedded!

ineffable wisdom, he cried: Alleluia!
For He sprang from a seedless womb and kept it chaste as it was, that seeing the
miracle we might sing to her, crying out:
Rejoice, crown of continence!
Rejoice, flashing symbol of the resurrection!
Rejoice, mirror of the life of the Angels!
Rejoice, tree of Light-bearing Fruit whereby the faithful are nourished!
Rejoice, tree of goodly shade by which many are sheltered!
Rejoice, thou that hast carried in thy womb the Redeemer of captives!
Rejoice, thou that gavest birth to the Guide of those astray!
Rejoice, pleader before the Just Judge!
Rejoice, forgiveness of many sins!
Rejoice, robe of boldness for the naked!
Rejoice, love that vanquishest all desire!
Rejoice, thou Bride unwedded!

because He wished to draw to the heights them that cry to Him: Alleluia!
