Let us praise the Lord who blessed Israel and saved his people from the hands of the Pharaoh by means of his all-powerful and wondrous glory. The Lord is victorious in battle. His name is Hope, the Lord, who has saved everyone from the hands of oppressors by means of his all-powerful and wondrous glory. Intercede for us, O Mary, Mother of God, who gave birth to the Lord God, the Shepherd of Israel, by means of his all-powerful and wondrous glory. [նայ] God spoke from above, the One who came and saved all creatures. Listen, O residents of the earth! So that we may call the name of the Lord. Give praise in the heights! We were called New Israel in Christ. We became part and parcel of the Lord and co-heirs with Christ. So that we may call the name of the Lord. Give praise in the heights! We shared a meal from the stone-altar of life, for the Lord is sweet. We in the oil of holiness we were anointed in faith. So that we may call the name of the Lord. Give praise in the heights! We have placed our trust in you, the mother and handmaiden of Christ. Intercede for us, So that we may call the name of the Lord. Give praise in the heights! [to be continued] |
