Oh, how shall I, whose native sphere
Is dark, whose mind is dim,
Before the Ineffable appear,
And on my naked spirit bear
The uncreated beam?
There is a way for man to rise
To that sublime abode:
An offering and a sacrifice,
A Holy Spirit’s energies,
An advocate with God.
These, these prepare us for the sight
Of Holiness above:
The Sons of ignorance and night
May dwell in the Eternal Light
Through the Eternal Love!
