3. O Mary, Lady of Virgins

O M.a.r.y., Lady of virgins, you attained greatness, from the True Light.

You were exalted, by The Lord Himself, you bore the Creator, O what a great marvel!

Wondrous among nations, wisdom to rulers, a hidden gem, and the gospel spoke of you.

They give you blessings, in all generations, O daughter of Joachim, exalted above the Cherubim.

You attained what no one could, O Mother of Mercy, and you became, filled with grace.

To the Divine you became, a veil for the Word, and greatly marveled, were you among the scholars.

O tabernacle of the covenant, O censer of Aaron, O spirit of glory, O daughter of Zion.

O the light of eyes, with you we rejoice, and abide in grace, O full of grace.

O full of grace, the fortified fortress, the treasure of mercy, the aid of the poor.

Your Son has purged death, O the intercessor of saints, intercede for us, O Mother of Mercy.

Hail to you, O Lady of virgins, O daughter of Joachim, the chosen throne.

Righteous is your Son, He purged our shame, the glorious God, the Creator of ages.

The adornment of virgins, the holy Mother, the purity of the pure, O light of lights.

O treasure of grace, O Mother of Mercy, truly you are the vine, filled and bearing fruit.

O daughter of Joachim, you attained greatness, you are Jerusalem, glorious and honored.

You are Zion, O precious jewel, you released the captive, from the deceiver’s hand.

Your Son saved Adam, the repentant sinner,

humanity He set free, from all adversaries.

The Lord from your childhood, witnessed your purity,

and therefore has blessed you, before all nations.

He sent you Gabriel, the Messenger of His words, and greeted you saying, “The Lord has chosen you.

His Holy Spirit, filled and dwelt within you, blessed are you O Virgin, throughout all ages.”

The Unseen and Holy, was born from you, and was called Jesus, for all eyes to see.

Moses saw the bush, blazing with fire, its branches flaming, yet the bush was not consumed.

The blazing bush, which Moses had seen, was indeed Mary, the adornment of virgins.

The fire is Jesus, the Holy Lord, who gave us the Law, engraved in stone.

Isaiah prophesied, about the birth, of Emmanuel, the Almighty King.

Ezekiel saw a door, through which The Lord entered, He sealed the door and claimed it, highly exalted.

Highly exalted are you, and your Son Jesus, when He was born of you, the earth was adorned.

And also Daniel, prophesied and said, “I saw the high throne, highly exalted.

In the firmaments high I saw, one like the Son of Man, who has dominion, over all the earth.

He is The Lord of Hosts, around Him are the ranks, thousands and myriads, glorifying in reverence.”

O daughter of Joachim, you are exalted above, the Cherubim and Seraphim, and all righteous fathers.

The Lord was born from you, and David praises you, with his harp he sings, playing its ten strings.

The sound of the first string, is in honor of your name, the Virgin will carry, the Almighty King.

And with the second string, David rejoices, chanting with hymns, while playing his harp.

And the third O daughter, because you were faithful, you were filled with light, and The Lord chose you.

The fourth string is sounded, so that all can hear, of her who is praised, all over the world.

The fifth is a sign of hope, as a dove she appears, with Ophir gold, upon her shoulders.

With the sixth he sung, praises I will not hide, but I will praise with him, and proclaim to all.

With the seventh string he said, O mountain of the High God, the High took flesh from you, without a doubt.

And with the eighth he sang, to the Virgin Mary, the Great chose her, and crowned her with honor.

With the ninth string he said, from her will surely come, God her Son, who sealed her virginity.

With the tenth he sang, the Powerful God, in Zion he appeared, the dwelling of the righteous.

There isn’t in all ages, anyone like you O Virgin, for you released the chains, and shame of Adam.

O Lady of the creation, the pride of faith, your servant is in need, drowning because of sins.

Highly exalted are you, do not leave your servant, ask your Son to save me, from the fire.

For your intercession, is heard and accepted, and He defends from the attacks, of the adversary.

Arise O poor one, and clothe yourself in faith, and say Amen Amen, for us she intercedes.

The persistent servant, will always praise her, for by his side that Day, the Lady of virgins shall be.

7. I Won't Forget a Year That Passed

I won’t forget a year that passed

It was full of love

Gentleness, providence

And Kindness from my Lord

And I won’t forget that I was / In His hands and He carried me / As a Father who carries His son / In His compassionate bosom

I won’t forget a day where

He stretched His arm to save me

Or how my heart was relieved

By Jesus from on high

And I won’t forget that I was / In His hands and He carried me / As a Father who carries His son / In His compassionate bosom

I won’t forget the love of my Redeemer

Despite all stubbornness

And how He was patient

With my overwhelming weakness

And I won’t forget that I was / In His hands and He carried me / As a Father who carries His son / In His compassionate bosom

I won’t forget the plot of my enemies

Or the hatred of the wicked

And how I was rescued

By My Lord Jesus the Righteous

And I won’t forget that I was / In His hands and He carried me / As a Father who carries His son / In His compassionate bosom

I won’t forget how a great fortress

The beloved Lord has become for me

And how evil was conquered

By His blood and His cross

And I won’t forget that I was / In His hands and He carried me / As a Father who carries His son / In His compassionate bosom
