Ἀνοίξω τὸ στόμα μου

Ἀνοίξω τὸ στόμα μου,
καὶ πληρωθήσεται πνεύματος,
καὶ λόγον ἐρεύξομαι, τῇ βασιλίδι Μητρί·
καὶ ὀφθήσομαι, φαιδρῶς πανηγυρίζων,
καὶ ᾄσω γηθόμενος, ταύτης τὰ θαύματα.
 
Ὑπεραγία Θεοτόκε, σῶσον ἡμᾶς.
 
Χριστοῦ βίβλον ἔμψυχον,
ἐσφραγισμένην σε Πνεύματι,
ὁ μέγας Ἀρχάγγελος, Ἁγνὴ θεώμενος,
ἐπεφώνει σοι·
Χαῖρε χαρᾶς δοχεῖον,
δι᾿ ἧς τῆς Προμήτορος, ἀρὰ λυθήσεται.
 
Ὑπεραγία Θεοτόκε, σῶσον ἡμᾶς.
 
Ἀδὰμ ἐπανόρθωσις,
χαῖρε Παρθένε Θεόνυμφε,
τοῦ ᾍδου ἡ νέκρωσις·
χαῖρε πανάμωμε,
τὸ παλάτιον, τοῦ μόνου Βασιλέως·
χαῖρε θρόνε πύρινε, τοῦ Παντοκράτορος.
 
Δόξα Πατρὶ καὶ Υἱῷ καὶ Ἁγίῳ Πνεύματι.
 
Ῥόδον τὸ ἀμάραντον,
χαῖρε ἡ μόνη βλαστήσασα·
τὸ μῆλον τὸ εὔοσμον, χαῖρε ἡ τέξασα·
τὸ ὀσφράδιον, τοῦ πάντων Βασιλέως·
χαῖρε Ἀπειρόγαμε, κόσμου διάσωσμα.
 
Καὶ νῦν καὶ ἀεὶ καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων. Ἀμήν.
 
Ἁγνείας θησαύρισμα,
χαῖρε, δι᾿ ἧς ἐκ τοῦ πτώματος, ἡμῶν ἐξανέστημεν·
χαῖρε ἡδύπνοον κρίνον, Δέσποινα, πιστοὺς εὐωδιάζον·
θυμίαμα εὔοσμον, μύρον πολύτιμον.

I shall open my mouth

I shall open my mouth
and holy spirit will fill it up1
and I will address the Queen-Mother
and I will see , full of joy and excitement
and I will sing, having experienced her miracles.
 
Holy mother of God, save us.
 
Having seen you as an animated book of Christ
sealed by Holy spirit
the great Archangel, oh Pure lady
cried at you:
Rejoice, since you are the pot of joy
through which the curse of our predecessor2 will be lifted from us.
 
Holy mother of God, save us.
 
Restoration of Adam
rejoice, Virgin, bride of God
Mortification of Hades
rejoice, immaculate one
You are the palace of the one and only King
rejoice, fiery throne, of the Almighty
 
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
 
Rejoice you, who had made sprout
the never withering rose
you, who have given birth to the sweet-smelling apple,
the fragrance of the King of all
rejoice, you, the intact one, who has saved the world.
 
Now and for ever and for the numerous centuries to come. Amen.
 
The treasure of purity
rejoice, you, through which we stopped being corpses
rejoice, sweet-smelling lily, oh Governor, spreading the fragrance to the faithful ones
fragrant incense , precious essence.
 
  • 1. When John of Damascus ( a very educated man and a gifted poet and musician) became a monk he was ordered neither to speak nor to write for a lot of years. He has been forced only to do humiliating and tiring things such as cleaning the toilets of the monastery and even going to the city selling dried leaves as if they were artifacts. Then, according to his biography , Virgin Mary appeared to the abbot in one dream of his asking him to let John speak, write and compose hymns . The first hymn-chant he wrote and set to music , after this long period of silence was " Ανοίξω το στόμα μου"
