	Χαίρει χαρᾷ ξύμπασα σήμερον κτίσις,
	ἀγάλλεται μὲν οὐρανὸς σὺν ἀγγέλοις,
	εὐφραίνεται γῆ σὺν βροτῶν ὁμηγύρει·
	ὁ γὰρ στρατηγὸς τῶν ἄνω στρατευμάτων
	χαίρων Γαβριὴλ «Χαῖρε», φησί, «παρθένε»,
	τῇ βασιλίδι μηνύων βασιλέα
	δουλοπρεπῶς μέλλοντα λάμπειν τῇ κτίσει,
	θέωσιν εἰσφέροντα τῶν τεθνηκότων,
	ὕψωσιν εἰσάγοντα τῶν πεπτωκότων.
