1. Ascend through the ages the eternal, divine Word
The Church, the Gospel, hist’ry all creation
Shed its light on man as he travels on this earth
On man who is marked by an immortal soul.
I love you, believe you, my Master and Lord,
With the simple people, the learned and the holy
I give you my mind, my will and my heart,
Raise to you my song.
2. From heavenly heights from the womb of Mary,
The Light and the Life has descended upon the world:
In Eucharist, Scriptures, through the words of our Pope.
Eternal, the school to which our Lord invites us.
Refrain.
3. O Master! Remove from me the shade of death,
Promote thou my progress and cast away darkness.
Make me a disciple courageous and ardent.
Then, in me develop the perfect, divine man.
Refrain.
