The Lord reigneth;
He is clothed with majesty.
The Word (who abides) in essence with the Father,
one in essence with the Holy Spirit;
United His image with our mortal nature
and adorned it with glory
and placed it in a Paradise of delight.
Where (Adam) rejoiced in sorrowless joy;
for he always saw in Paradise God who had come down
From whom he received and imprinted in himself a ray of light.
Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit;
Now and for ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
Therefore, Mary, Mother-of-God,
Beseech your only-begotten Son
to grant us, like the thief,
to inherit the blessedness of Paradise once again.
