O Word immortal of eternal God, only-begotten of the only Source, for our salvation stooping to the course of human life and born of Mary's blood; Sprung from the ever-virgin womanhood of her who bare thee, God immutable, incarnate, made as man with man to dwell, and condescending to the bitter rood; Save us, O Christ our God, for thou hast died to save thy people to the uttermost, and dying tramplest death in victory; one of the ever-bless?d Trinity, in equal honor with the Holy Ghost, and with the eternal Father glorified.
