Glory

to 

you, 

be-

holding 

the depths, 

in the high vault  of heaven, glory to you

O Eternal Word, you took on our humanity that we might share your divinity, be with us in our our joys and in our struggles, in our endings and in our beginnings, and whisper tenderly to us that  you yourself are our source and our goal.
