Word equal to the Most High

Word equal to the Most High,

our unique hope,

eternal day of the earth and of the heavens,

we break the silence of the peaceful night;

Divine Saviour, cast your eyes upon us;

Spread out over us the fire of your mighty grace

so that hell itself flees at the sound of your voice.

Dispel the slumber of a pining soul

which drives it to forget your laws!

O Christ, show favor to these faithful people

now assembled to praise you.

Receive these songs that they offer

to your immortal glory,

and these full offerings returned to you.
