Plain text of Ode 19

1 A cup of milk was offered to me: and I drank it in the sweetness of the delight of the Lord.

5 and they who receive in its fulness are the ones on the right hand.

6 [GOD's word] opened the womb of the Virgin and she received conception and brought forth; and the Virgin became a mother with many mercies;

7 and she [travailed, and GOD eased her pain] and brought forth a son;

8 and because she was not sufficiently prepared and she had not sought a midwife, (for He brought her to bear), she brought forth, as if she were a man of her own will;

9 and she brought him forth openly, and acquired him with great dignity,

10 and loved him in his swaddling clothes, and guarded him kindly, and showed him in majesty. Hallelujah.
