O Virgin Pure (Agni Parthene in Latin, lyrics and translation)

I translated this over a year ago, and I got a friend of mine to sing it in our local church. This hymn has been translated into so many languages, I felt it was fitting to finally have it in Latin as well. I once came across a video by another channel where they translated a part of it in Latin and sung it, but the purpose behind the video and the amount translated didn't sit right with me. For example, they claimed they sung it with Classical Latin pronunciation because they wanted it to sound as it would for the early Christians in Rome. However, the hymn didn't come about until the 1800s, and itself isn't a Greek spoken by the early Christians, so it seemed strange to try and do so on a Latin version of it. So, I took to translating it myself (using the original Greek and the Slavonic, German, Spanish, English, French, Portuguese, and Italian translations for reference), and this is the final result. If you feel like you could produce a version which sounds better, please sing it for me. And if you don't have the necessary skills to make a video for your singing of it, send it my way and I'll make it for you. I want this beautiful hymn to enter fully into the Latin tradition as well. Thanks for watching and reading :)
