To You, Our Queen

Kontakion 1, Akathist to the Mother of God
Greek Tone 8, arr. Dr. F. Karam

To you, our Queen, leader in battle and defender,
we, your people, delivered from all peril,
offer hymns of vict'ry and thanksgiving, O Theotokos.
Since you possess invincible power,
set us free from every calamity,
that we may cry to you: "Hail, O Bride without Bridegroom."
