Spiritual songs > Hymns to the Mother of God

Rejoice, O purest Mother

This translation of Veselisja, vo čistot'i is by Monsignor William Levkulic. It is often sung on the feast of the Dormition of the Theotokos (August 15).

This hymn was reviewed as part of the Hymnal Project of the Metropolitan Cantor Institute. See this blog entry.
