Thou hast appeared, O Gabriel, the secret receiver of the hidden knowledge and counsels of the Most High, to show foreknowledge of the things to come and to proclaim joyful tidings to the earth-born. For this reason, I am encouraged by love to sing to you:

Rejoice, mirror of the unreasonable light;

Rejoice, messenger of the secrets of God.

Rejoice, insight into hidden counsels;

Rejoice, ineffable revelation of God.

Rejoice, thou shalt shine forth in the mind the hidden knowledge;

Rejoice, thou who shinest light upon the people.

Rejoice, minister of the Divine Gospels;

Rejoice, enlightener of joyful events.

Rejoice, many unclear things have been clarified;

Rejoice, foreknowledge of frequent future events.

Rejoice, to whom joy is infused;

Rejoice, having cast out sorrow.

Rejoice, messenger of grace.
