Word, equal to the Almighty, our only hope, Eternal light of the earth and the Heavens; We break the peaceful night's silence, Divine Saviour, cast your eyes upon us! Spread the fire of your mighty grace upon us May the entire hell flee at the sound of your voice; Disperse from any slothful soul the drowsiness Which induces it to forget your laws! Oh Christ, look with favour upon this faithful people Which has now gathered to bless you. Receive its singing, offered to your immortal glory, And may it leave with the gifts you have bestowed upon it!
