Come, thou that communicatest in all the combats of the noble combatant;
< Come, treasury of glory; >
< Come, most Beloved of the mercy of the Most High; >
Come, rest,
That makest manifest the great deeds of the whole greatness;
Come, thou that disclosest secrets
And makest manifest the mysteries;
Come, holy dove,[1]
Which hast brought forth twin young;[2]
Come, thou secret mother;
Come, thou who art manifest in thy deeds;
Come thou giver of joy
And of rest to those who are united to thee;
Come and commune with us in this eucharist,
Which we make in thy name,[3]
And in the love feast
For which we are united at thy calling."[4]
