Rejoice, thou who didst fill the nets of the fishermen!
Rejoice, thou who drawest us from the depths of ignorance!
Rejoice, thou who enlightenest many with knowledge!
Rejoice, ship of those who wish to be saved!
Rejoice, haven for sailors on the sea of life!
Rejoice, thou Bride unwedded!
Own promise; and He that, as God, is the Shepherd, for our sake appeared unto us as
a man: for like calling unto like, as God He heareth: Alleluia!
Maker of heaven and earth prepared thee, O most pure one, dwelling in thy womb, and
teaching all to call to thee:
Rejoice, gate of salvation!
Rejoice, founder of spiritual instruction!
Rejoice, dispenser of divine good!
Rejoice, for thou didst regenerate those conceived in shame!
Rejoice, for thou gavest understanding to those robbed of their senses!
Rejoice, thou who didst foil the corrupter of minds!
Rejoice, thou who gavest birth to the Sower of chastity!
Rejoice, bridechamber of a seedless marriage!
Rejoice, thou who dost wed the faithful to the Lord!
Rejoice, good foster-mother of virgins!
Rejoice, betrother of holy souls!
Rejoice, thou Bride unwedded!
