Verb equal to the Most High, our only hope
Eternal day of the earth and the heavens
From the peaceful night we break the silence:
Divine savior, cast your eyes upon us
Spread over us the fire of your powerful grace;
May all hell flee at the sound of your voice;
Dispel this slumber of a languishing soul
That leads it to forget your laws!
O Christ! be favorable to this faithful people
Now assembled to bless you;
Receive the songs it offers to your immortal glory
And with your gifts may it return fulfilled
