Annunciation

O ye people, announce the good tidings of the refashioning of the world.
Behold, our restoration has now been revealed to us:
in a manner beyond understanding, God is united to mankind;
at the voice of the Archangel, delusion is destroyed,
for the Virgin receives joy;
things of the earth have become heaven;
and the world is freed from the ancient curse.
Let creation rejoice exceedingly and sing with voices of praise:
O Lord, our Maker and Deliverer, glory to Thee!
