O you of golden words,
of angelic tongue,
of sermons refined
seven times
by the Spirit of God…
O how you made present on earth
the invisible Creator
even as He was made for us
in the womb of the Virgin,
so tangible had His grace become
through the preaching the Lord inspired
in your soul –
pray we shall indeed be vivified
by the eternal grace of God,
by the gift of His becoming Man,
to become like Him,
heavenly spirits in His reign.
How could we comprehend such blessing;
how could such surpassing joy
these earthen vessels hold?
Let us come close to Christ our Savior,
close to Him as now you stand
in His radiant glory.
