At the Praises, 4 stichera, in Tone II —

Glory..., Now & ever...: in Tone VI —

Come, let us rejoice in the Theotokos and Queen, the mighty helper of our race; come ye in gladness to her calm and wondrous protection; for to the faithful doth the Theotokos grant abundant gifts of healing from the inexhaustible wellspring of her mercy; from myriads of temptations, misfortunes and evil circumstances doth she deliver us who piously glorify and honor her in a God-pleasing manner. Wherefore, we cry out to her with joy: Rejoice, thou palace of the Word! Rejoice, Bride unwedded! Rejoice, O our joy! Rejoice, Mother of Life! Blessed is the Fruit of thy womb! Twice

Rejoice, most blessed Mary, Mother of Christ! Rejoice, thou who art the joy of all the world! Rejoice, all-good helper of Christians! Rejoice, protector of the oppressed! Rejoice, ready and certain refuge for the afflicted! Rejoice, divine consolation of orphans and widows! Rejoice, protection and nourisher of all the poor! Rejoice, quick deliverance for all amid misfortune! Rejoice, Mistress, Bride of God, hope of Christians!

Rejoice, hope and protection of all Christians, all-immaculate Mother of God, who art more honorable than all creation, and more glorious than all in heaven and on earth; for thou didst give birth unto the Creator and God of all. Yet, O Mistress, mercifully accept our supplications, and do thou ever save us, in that thou art good and merciful, that with gladness we may venerate thine all-holy icon, and, ever rejoicing, may praise and magnify thee, O thou gladsome joy of thy faithful servants. Twice

Gathering together, O ye assemblies of the faithful, let us spiritually hold festival today, and with hymns of praise let us bless the divine Maiden, the Virgin Theotokos, saying: Rejoice, thou who alone wast chosen from among all generations to be the Mother of the preëternal Word! Rejoice, thou abode of Him Whom naught can contain! Rejoice, joy of the angels and seraphim! Rejoice, proclamation and boast of the prophets! Rejoice, adornment of the apostles and holy hierarchs! Rejoice, strength of the martyrs and glory of all the righteous! Rejoice, divine consolation of the sorrowful! Rejoice, quick deliverance for those amid misfortunes and temptations! Rejoice, refuge and good protector of all sinners! Rejoice, O thou who art full of grace and joy, the Lord is with thee, Who through thee granteth the world great mercy.
