Verily, Gabriel did come to thee, disclosing the purpose which was before the ages, hailing thee and saying, Rejoice O unseeded land!
Rejoice, O unburning bush!
Rejoice, O depth inaccessible to vision!
Rejoice, O unburning bush!
Rejoice, O depth inaccessible to vision!
Rejoice, O bridge leading to the heavens!
Rejoice, O lofty ladder whom Jacob did behold!
Rejoice, O jar of divine manna!
Rejoice, O dissolution of the curse!
Rejoice, O recall of Adam! The Lord is with thee.
