O Virgin Pure

O Virgin Pure and sometimes "O Pure Virgin" (Greek: Ἁγνὴ Παρθένε, Agni Parthene) is a non-liturgical hymn composed by St. Nectarios of Aegina, drawn from the Theotokarion (Book of Hymns to the Mother of God).

Sometimes performed in Orthodox churches at the beginning of Vespers, or after the conclusion of the Divine Liturgy during the veneration of the cross and receiving of anti-doron.

Original Greek text, Transliteration and Notation of Melody and Chords

The text can be divided into four strophes (S = 1, 2, 3, 4), each stroph into three tunes (T = A, B, C), where each tune is sung twice (iteration I = α, β). Each of these 24 invocations is followed by a chorus (Refrain R). The Greek text, the transliteration and the musical notation relate to this.

O Virgin Pure

Plagal First Tone (Tone 5)

Refrain: Rejoice, O Unwedded Bride!

O Virgin pure, immaculate/ O Lady Theotokos
O Virgin Mother, Queen of all/ and fleece which is all dewy
More radiant than the rays of sun/ and higher than the heavens
Delight of virgin choruses/ superior to Angels.
Much brighter than the firmament/ and purer than the sun's light
More holy than the multitude/ of all the heav'nly armies.

Rejoice, O Unwedded Bride!

O Ever Virgin Mary/ of all the world, the Lady
O bride all pure, immaculate/ O Lady Panagia
O Mary bride and Queen of all/ our cause of jubilation
Majestic maiden, Queen of all/ O our most holy Mother
More hon'rable than Cherubim/ beyond compare more glorious
than immaterial Seraphim/ and greater than angelic thrones.

Rejoice, O Unwedded Bride!

Rejoice, O song of Cherubim/ Rejoice, O hymn of angels
Rejoice, O ode of Seraphim/ the joy of the archangels
Rejoice, O peace and happiness/ the harbor of salvation
O sacred chamber of the Word/ flow'r of incorruption
Rejoice, delightful paradise/ of blessed life eternal
Rejoice, O wood and tree of life/ the fount of immortality.

Rejoice, O Unwedded Bride!

I supplicate you, Lady/ now do I call upon you
And I beseech you, Queen of all/ I beg of you your favor
Majestic maiden, spotless one/ O Lady Panagia
I call upon you fervently/ O sacred, hallowed temple
Assist me and deliver me/ protect me from the enemy
And make me an inheritor/ of blessed life eternal.

Rejoice, O Unwedded Bride!

Classical Chinese Translation

What follows is rendered in Classical Chinese, the official written language used throughout the Northeast Asia up until 19th century, much in the way Latin was adopted in formal contexts in the Western Europe before the Renaissance. Chinese, and Japanese as well, who have received their secondary education in China or Taiwan (or Japan, for that matter) should not find much difficulty in reading (at least part of) the text.

Korean Translation

순결하신 동정녀시여, 정결한 테오토코스여

왕비인 동정녀 어머니, 시원한 위로를 주시는

하늘보다 더 높으신, 광채보다 더 빛나는

동정녀들 중 큰 기쁨이신, 천사 중에 가장 높으신

하늘보다 빛을 더 발하고 빛보다 더 투명하신,

하늘의 천사 군대보다 가장 거룩하신

당신께 간청하나이다, 지금 당신을 부릅니다.

왕비여, 불쌍히 여기사 우리를 중보하소서.

정결하고 흠 없는 딸이시여, 동정녀 성모 마리아여

당신께 호소하나이다, 거룩한 성전이시여.

온갖 시련에서 보호해 주시고 구원해 주소서.

영원한 생명을 유산으로 물려 주소서.

혼인한 바 없는 신부여, 기뻐하소서.
