Akathist Hymn: Rejoice, Unwedded Bride

O Champion Leader, to thee we thy servants dedicate a feast of victory and of thanksgiving as ones rescued out of sufferings, O Theotokos; but as thou art one with might which is invincible, from all dangers that can be do thou deliver us, that we may cry to thee: Rejoice, thou Bride unwedded! An Archangel was sent from heaven to say to the Theotokos: Rejoice! And beholding thee, O Lord, taking bodily form, he was amazed and with his bodiless voice he stood crying to her such things as these: Rejoice, thou through whom joy will shine forth. Rejoice, thou through whom the curse will cease. Rejoice, revival of fallen Adam. Rejoice, redemption of the tears of Eve. Rejoice, height hard to climb for human thoughts. Rejoice, depth hard to contemplate even for the eyes of Angels. Rejoice, thou who art the throne of the King. Rejoice, thou who bearest him who bears all. Rejoice, star that causest the Sun to appear. Rejoice, womb of the divine Incarnation. Rejoice, thou through whom creation is renewed. Rejoice, thou through whom we worship the Creator. Rejoice, thou Bride unwedded!
