In You Rejoice
(O Tebi Radujetsja)
Liturgy of St. Basil - Tone 6
(English adaptation by Edward Sedor)
All creation rejoices in You,
O You who are full of grace,
the host of angels and all mankind.
O holy temple and spiritual paradise,
the glory of virgins,
from whom God was made flesh and became a little Child,
and is our God before all ages.
For He made You womb His throne,
and more spacious than the heavens.
All creation rejoices in You,
O You who are full of grace,
glory to You.
