Supernal Word, proceeding from + 

The Eternal Father’s breast, + 

And in the end of ages come, + 

To aid a world distrest; + 

Enlighten, Lord, and set on fire + 

Our spirits with Thy love, + 

That, dead to earth, they may aspire + 

And live to joys above. + 

That, when the judgment-seat on high + 

Shall fix the sinner’s doom, + 

And to the just a glad voice cry, + 

Come to your destined home; + 

Safe from the black and yawning lake + 

Of restless, endless pain, + 

We may the face of God partake, + 

The bliss of heaven attain. + 

To God the Father, God the Son, + 

And Holy Ghost, to Thee, + 

As heretofore, when time is done, + 

Unending glory be. + 
