Here I present "O Queen of the Heavenly Host", composed by Alexander Nikolsky from his All-Night Vigil Service, Op.26.

"O Queen of the Heavenly Host, Defender of our souls: being delivered from evil, as thy servants, O Mother of God, we offer unto thee the hymns of thanks and victory; but as thou hast power invincible, deliver us from all calamity, that we may cry unto thee: Rejoice, O ever-Virgin Bride!"

Sung here by the Choir of the Trinity Cathedral Church, Alexandrov.
