It is truly meet

English

Meet is it, in truth, to bless thee, the Birth-giver of God, ever-blessed and all-undefiled, and the Mother of our God. More honourable than the Cherubim, and beyond compare more glorious than the Seraphim, thou who without defilement barest God the Word, true Birth-giver of God, we magnify thee.

Church Slavonic

Досто́йно есть я́ко вои́стинну блажи́ти Тя Богоро́дицу, Присноблаже́нную и Пренепоро́чную и Ма́терь Бо́га на́шего. Честне́йшую Херуви́м и сла́внейшую без сравне́ния Серафи́м, без истле́ния Бо́га Сло́ва ро́ждшую, су́щую Бого́родицу Тя велича́ем.
