O Virgin Pure
- by St. Nectarios
- Plagal First Tone (Tone 5)
Refrain: Rejoice, O Bride Unwedded!
- O Virgin pure, immaculate/ O Lady Theotokos
- O Virgin Mother, Queen of all/ and fleece which is all dewy
- More radiant than the rays of sun/ and higher than the heavens
- Delight of virgin choruses/ superior to Angels.
- Much brighter than the firmament/ and purer than the sun's light
- More holy than the multitude/ of all the heav'nly armies.
Rejoice, O Bride Unwedded!
- O Ever Virgin Mary/ of all the world, the Lady
- O bride all pure, immaculate/ O Lady Panagia
- O Mary bride and Queen of all/ our cause of jubilation
- Majestic maiden, Queen of all/ O our most holy Mother
- More hon'rable than Cherubim/ beyond compare more glorious
- than immaterial Seraphim/ and greater than angelic thrones.
Rejoice, O Bride Unwedded!
- Rejoice, O song of Cherubim/ Rejoice, O hymn of angels
- Rejoice, O ode of Seraphim/ the joy of the archangels
- Rejoice, O peace and happiness/ the harbor of salvation
- O sacred chamber of the Word/ flow'r of incorruption
- Rejoice, delightful paradise/ of blessed life eternal
- Rejoice, O wood and tree of life/ the fount of immortality.
Rejoice, O Bride Unwedded!
- I supplicate you, Lady/ now do I call upon you
- And I beseech you, Queen of all/ I beg of you your favor
- Majestic maiden, spotless one/ O Lady Panagia
- I call upon you fervently/ O sacred, hallowed temple
- Assist me and deliver me/ protect me from the enemy
- And make me an inheritor/ of blessed life eternal.
Rejoice, O Bride Unwedded!
