I praise you, O chosen one

From a chosen and honored

lineage
By the psaltery and harp
The righteous David praises you

Your praise is very precious

Many people had benefit
And were granted through
your holiness
Intercession, knowledge and
honor

We received all rejoice

Grace, happiness and
acceptance
And God has pardoned us
When he was pleased to dwell
in you

I offer you every morn

A 1000 greetings, O Virgin
So you can ask our Savior
To lead us to our harbor in
peace





The Mighty Lord crowned you
With illuminating crowns
And chose you from the house
of David
through the dwelling of the
eternal Logos

In your womb to become a
babe
For the salvation of mankind
And return the first man
To his rank in honor

The glorified King was
incarnate
All the hosts praise Him
We worship and glorify Him
Proclaiming His might forever

For He came and was
incarnate
Of you, the lady of ladies
In an indescribable mystery
That no one could ever
comprehend

Eve deceived Adam
Made him drink the
serpents poison
He obeyed her and became
sorry
He became stripped of the
freedom of glory





So the creator of the world
had compassion
The maker of all mankind
He chose you from an
honored tribe
And gave you glory and
honor

He favored you, O daughter of

Joachim
And chose you from the house
of David
To dwell in you with great
mystery
The Worshipped Living Lord
of Glory

Youre likened to the Cherubim

Elevated above the angelic
hosts
And all the illumined ranks
You are honored above them all





The righteous David said
about you
with the psalm and the
harp
the Lord of Glory chose
your beauty
and filled you with grace
and purity





He came and dwelt in
your womb
youre the refuge of all
whos lost
no tongue can describe
in words
your glory or utter your
honor

The Lord of Glory chose

your beauty
we worship and praise
Him
who created you became
your son
a mystery that is
indescribable

He came and dwelt in

your womb
while he is in His fathers
bosom
was incarnate and born
from you
you nursed and fed Him





He beautified you by His
dwelling in your womb
He took from you the
humanity
and you carried Him in
your hands
united with the divinity

And nursed from you

the Lord of all humanity
who gives food to His
people
you nursed and fed Him

An illumined ladder was seen
By our father Jacob, Israel
And the Lord sits upon it
In honor and glory

He wondered and was
surprised
Prophesied and explained
The divine economy
A mystery beyond
understanding

God chose to dwell in you
Chose you from the house of
David
He sent Gabriel to you
to announce the dwelling of the
Lord in you

He said the Holy Spirit will come
upon you
And the feared Highest will
overshadow you
With the divine power
He gave you privilege and
honor

Ezekiels vision was fulfilled

When he saw an eastern door
And the Most High came to it
He entered through it and came
out while it remained shut

He prophesied and explained

The plan of the Lord of Lords
The pure Virgin will bear the
Logos
He will be born like all humans

Daniel explained in details

When he saw Pi Ethronos
And upon it sitting the honored
God
Surrounded by worshipping
Ni Angelos

The one with great wisdom
proclaimed
About the Birth of Christ
That He will descend
As dew and rain without clouds





He bowed down the
heavens and came down
As prophesied by His father
David
While Hes still in His
highest heaven
Before all ages in His
Fathers bosom





When He fulfilled His
promise
And was incarnate from
a virgin
Chosen from an
honored tribe
He favored her in
dignity and honor





All the prophesies were
fulfilled
As Isaiah proclaimed
A Virgin will bear in her
womb
And give birth to
Emmanuel

He will come in due

time
To save His people
Israel
He fulfilled all the
prophesies
About the sign of His birth
of a Virgin





Aarons rod had sprung
And brought forth
flowers and leaves
It became green without
watering
It brought forth fruits
after it was dry

The fathers concurred

That you are the pride
of the virgins
A Virgin bore and gave
birth
To whom His peace
appears on the earth

Amos said many things
Concerning the birth of
the Only-Begotten
Born before all ages
And His birth was long
waited for

He will be born in the

flesh
From an honored Virgin
Of the root of David
He will take flesh like
every man





John the beloved saw in
a vision
In the Book of
Revelation
A woman embraced by
the sun
And the moon glowed
under her feet

And a rank of 12 stars

Before you and around
you
In the upper heaven
You shine on earth in a
magnified way

It is true and correct
The sun is Isos Pi
Ekhristos
The moon is the smaller
light
Is John Pi Epro dromos

And the illumined twelve
lamps
Pi met esnaf in
apostolos
As for you O pure Virgin
You have completed
and fulfilled the vision





Your honor O Mary
Does not come close to
sun or moon
All this falls short and
fails
To describe you,
O Mother of the Holy
One

You are greater and
honored more
Than the hosts and
heavenly ranks
And all the angelic lights
You are above them all





If it wasnt for you, O
Lady of the universe
You carried the Lord our
Savior
He appeared in the form
of a man
He was incarnate of you
with our humanity





He was crucified upon
the pole naked
With his reviving death
He saved us
Then Adam and his
sons would have been
imprisoned
In great sorrow and
regret

Who else but you O
Virgin
We can ask in great
tribulations
And in an unknown day
For intercession, help
and rescue






We all say to you
You are more capable
to rescue
How can whoever asks
you be harmed
You who are the beauty
of the whole world






I, your servant, beg of
you
Do not forget me in your
prayer
You, who everyone calls
upon
And hopes in your great
intercession





Your poor servants
pleads you
Looking forward to your
help
How many have asked
of you
And got their desire with
honor

I ask you to intercede
for us
Before your son the
Lord of powers
May He grant us to be
equal to
Those who had the 10
talents





I ask you to help us
through His Name
In this world and at the
end of days
In order to win the good
deeds
Before the end of all
generations





Do not forget us, O
mother of Jesus
And do not forsake me
O who your name is
raised on high
Do not forget who
mentions your name





Your servant asks for an
antidote from you
For he is burned with
sin
Your intercession before
Jesus your son
Would heal me and I
return in peace.






You are characterized
with mercy
You carried the King
and Judge
Among all the nations
You are elevated above
everyone

Hail to you O full of

grace
Blessed are you among
humans
And blessed is the fruit
of your womb
We worship Him in
reverence and honor





Graciously O Lord, have
mercy on us
The breath of life for
every soul
And keep our Pope
The good father who
fulfills the laws






Watching in prayer for
us
Pen yot ethoab Abba
Shenouda
Grant him a long life
Give him peace and
tranquility

Our fathers the bishops
His partners in the
Apostolic ministry
Accept their prayers on
our behalf
To protect us from all
evil

Keep also the priests

All the dwellers in the
wilderness
Monks, hermits and
anchorites
Keep them in purity and
chastity





All the people who were
baptized
The believers in Your
Holy Name
Save them from evil
Break for them the traps
of Satan





Forgive them all their
sins
To be secured in peace
Those who attend
and absent
Lead them to the harbor
in peace

I am the sinner who wrote
these words
Drowning in my ignorance
since childhood
The least of your servants,
Gabriel
Resides in a village called
Quaii





I ask your kindness, O
most high
That the mother of
Light, my help and
hope
Mary, my preserve in
the day of my
judgment
To be my victory to
rejoice in resurrection





I ask you the adorned
among virgins
The help of all
Christians
I ask of you night and
day
To whom I am indebted

Im afraid of the lake of
fire
Rescue me by ferry
Your work is beyond
expectations
And always complete

I beg through a hero
who is called
Pi ethlovoros
emmartiros
The star of morn my
reward, the Roman
Pachois epooro
Georgios





All my life Im protected
by him
Im his servant
referenced in this
poem
Counted among his
spared ones
My help in traveling and
in settling





Youre the flower of
Palestine
Youre a planet thats
always luminous
Youre a precious and
extravagant jewel
Your light covered all
horizons





Your servant is a sinner
and poor
I have hope and trust in
you
I say O Lord of St.
George
Save me to win and be
safe

O our Lord Jesus

Christ: who carries the
sin of the world: count
us with Your sheep:
those who are to Your
right

And when You come

again: in Your Second
fearful Appearance:
may we never fearfully
hear: You say I do not
know you.

:
:
:

But rather may we be

made worthy: to hear
the voice full of joy: of
Your tender mercies:
proclaiming and saying

:

:
:

Come unto Me: O

blessed of My Father:
and inherit the life: that
endures forever.

The martyrs will come:

bearing their afflictions:
and the righteous will
come: bearing their
virtues

:

:

:

.

The Son of God shall

come in His glory: and
His Fathers glory: to
give unto everyone:
according to his deeds
which He has done.


:
:

:

.

O Christ the Word of the

Father: the Only
Begotten God: grant us
Your peace: that is full
of joy.

:
:

.

As You have given: to

Your saintly apostles:
likewise also say to us:
My peace I give unto
you.

:

:
:

.

My peace which I have

taken: from My Father: I
leave unto you: both
now and forever.

:

:
.

O the angel of this day:

flying up with this hymn:
remember us before the
Lord: that He may
forgive us our sins


:

:

:

.

The sick heal them:

those who have slept O
Lord repose them: and
all of our brothers in
distress: help us my
Lord and all of them.

:

:

.

May God bless us: and

let us bless His Holy
Name: and may His
praise continually be:
always upon our
mouths.

For blessed is the

Father and the Son: and
the Holy Spirit: the
perfect Trinity: we
worship and glorify Him.
