"be with us and hear us"

Fire of the Spirit, life of the lives of creatures,

spiral of sanctity, bond of all natures,

glow of charity, light of clarity,

taste of sweetness to sinners—

be with us and hear us.

Composer of all things,

light of all the risen,

key of salvation,

release from the dark prison,

hope of all unions, scope of chastities,

joy in the glory, strong honor—

Be with us and hear us.

-Hildegard of Bingen, 1098-1179
