✏This byzantine chant is performed by the Festive Choir. The song of the Most Holy Theotokos is performed at All-night Vigil during the reading of the canon after the 8th Ode. The title Our All-holy, immaculate, most blessed and glorified Lady, the Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary is often used in Orthodox services when Mary is mentioned.

TEXT of the chant:
My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
Refrain: More honourable than the Cherubim, and beyond compare more glorious than the Seraphim, who without corruption gavest birth to God the Word, the very Theotokos, thee do we magnify.
For He hath looked upon the lowliness of His handmaiden; for behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
Refrain: More honourable than the Cherubim, and beyond compare more glorious than the Seraphim, who without corruption gavest birth to God the Word, the very Theotokos, thee do we magnify.
For the Mighty One hath done great things to me, and holy is His name; and His mercy is on them that fear Him unto generation and generation.
Refrain: More honourable than the Cherubim, and beyond compare more glorious than the Seraphim, who without corruption gavest birth to God the Word, the very Theotokos, thee do we magnify.
He hath showed strength with His arm, and He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their heart.
Refrain: More honourable than the Cherubim, and beyond compare more glorious than the Seraphim, who without corruption gavest birth to God the Word, the very Theotokos, thee do we magnify.
He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and exalted them of low degree; He hath filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He hath sent empty away.
Refrain: More honourable than the Cherubim, and beyond compare more glorious than the Seraphim, who without corruption gavest birth to God the Word, the very Theotokos, thee do we magnify.
He hath holpen His servant Israel in remembrance of His mercy, as He spake to our fathers, to Abraham and his seed forever.
Refrain: More honourable than the Cherubim, and beyond compare more glorious than the Seraphim, who without corruption gavest birth to God the Word, the very Theotokos, thee do we magnify.
