 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, Which hast brought forth twin young; 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, And in the love feast For which we are united at thy calling." }}
