The eloquence of your blood, Lord Jesus,
Cries out far better than does Abel's bloods,
For in thy pure light the Father sees us,
His promises blossom, His mercy buds. 

For your love alone is love submissive,
So for you alone may I live my life,
For you alone Lord give me life to live,
And you alone art perfect sacrifice.

The Father listens to your holy plea.
He ever trusts in Thy blameless ethos,
For you make your speech, Lord, so blamelessly,
With Mary, O Virgin Theotokos!

You alone with God may be called our Mother,
(Eve was unable as Cain killed his brother).
