Weddasse Mariyam/(Hymn of Praise of the Virgin Mariam) (G) Seventh Day of The Week –ቅዳሜ/Qidame/Saturday

1. Pure and shining, holy and praiseworthy are thou in everything, O thou who has clasped ጌታ/Gêta/the Lord in her hands. All creation rejoices with her, and cries out, saying, "Rejoice, O full of grace, rejoice thou, for thou has found favor; rejoice thou, for Igziabher/God is with thee." We ascribe blessings to thy greatness, O awesome Dingil/Virgin, and we send to thee joy with the Angel Gabriel, for the Fruit of thy womb has become the salvation of our race, and has brought us closer onto Igziabher/God His Father.

5. Thou art that Tabernacle which was called "Holy of Holies", wherein was the Ark (Tabot) which was covered on all sides with plates of gold, and had therein the Table of the Covenant and the pot of gold of the hidden manna, that is to say, the Son of Igziabher/God. He came and dwelt with Mariyam Dingil/the Virgin without blemish. He was incarnate of her, and she brought forth in the world the King of Glory/ YeQibir Nigus. He came and delivered us. The Garden (i.e.

Paradise) shall rejoice, for the Lamb that is endowed with reason, the Son of the Father, Who dwelleth forever, has come and delivered us from sin.
