Wholly present with those on earth and not absent at all from those in heaven, the limitless Word; For condescension divine, not a change in place was made, and birth from a Virgin, God's beloved, listening to these: Rejoice, of God the uncontained O you the land.
All angelic nature was astounded by the great of your incarnation's work; for the inaccessible as God, they saw to all accessible as man, among us dwelling yet hearing from all creation:

Ὅλος ἦν ἐν τοῖς κάτω καὶ τῶν ἄνω οὐδ΄ ὅλως ἀπῆν ὁ ἀπερίγραπτος Λόγος· συγκατάβασις γὰρ θεϊκή͵ οὐ μετάβασις δὲ τοπικὴ γέγονε καὶ τόκος ἐκ παρθένου θεολήπτου ἀκουούσης ταῦτα· Χαῖρε͵ θεοῦ ἀχωρήτου χώρα·
Πᾶσα φύσις ἀγγέλων κατεπλάγη τὸ μέγα τῆς σῆς ἐνανθρωπήσεως ἔργον· τὸν ἀπρόσιτον γὰρ ὡς θεὸν ἐθεώρει πᾶσι προσιτὸν ἄνθρωπον͵ ἡμῖν μὲν συνδιάγοντα͵ ἀκούοντα δὲ παρὰ πάντων·
