Awhile ago, there was another thread entitled Favorite Style of the Theotokos Icons? that was very beneficial (to me, at least) seeing the variations historically of the Theotokos. Recently, however, I came across a very interesting one that took me by surprise and I don't know if anyone has ever seen it before. If they have so I know the exact source of where to find it, I'd appreciate it...and any others people may wish to share, I am open to that as well.

Hymn to the Theotokos
It is truly meet to bless you, O Theotokos, ever-blessed and most pure, and the Mother of our God. More honorable than the Cherubim, and more glorious beyond compare than the Seraphim, without defilement you gave birth to God the Word. True Theotokos we magnify you!
