The seed of a man, Virgin Sun, hail,

High in the love of universe

You must forget the warmth it gave, I will forget the light

You must bring the shadows among us, into my heart and my blood

Silence, calm and beyond, so far and so close it is

I have written a fiery gospel, laid in burnished rows of steel

As you deal within my contemnors, so with you my faith shall deal

Let the might, born out of man, trust the church with his heel

Where all life embrace

Death lives, nature breeds

Like the rain before the dawn

Since the man is marching on

Where all life embrace

Death lives, nature breeds

Since the man is marching on
