Right/s. Perhpas you didn't stick around long enough to hear the "It is Truly Meet" hymn right after the consecration of the Gifts:
It is truly meet to bless you, Theotokos, ever blessed, most pure, and mother of our God. More honorable than the Cherubim, and beyond compare more glorious than the Seraphim, without corruption you gave birth to God the Word. We magnify you, the true Theotokos.
Those phrases are included in the second verse of Ye Watchers and Ye Holy Ones" found in the ELCA Lutheran and Episcopal hymnals:
O higher than the Cherubim,
More glorious than the Seraphim,
Lead their praises, Alleluia!
Thou bearer of th'eternal Word
Most gracious, magnify the Lord,
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
The words are clearly addressed to the blessed Theotokos seeking her intercession in leading the praises sung by the angels.
