only begotten Son, you, who did not disdain to submit to birth in the Virgin's womb. Driven onto the cross, you were made the victim of God's wrath. Through you, our only Saviour, hope of life returned to us. To you, Eternal Spirit by whose breath was born by Mary the Infant God, be our eternal blessings. Triune God, of all humanity the great author of salvation, this immense mystery our tongues all cheer and sing.
