“– Come you, my blessed brothers,

All of us who are standing in a circle around our Good Shepherd.

Come, let us all offer unto him most welcome gifts:

One of us, his gladsome face, 

Another one, his lack of grouching;

Another one, his readiness to serve,

And yet, another one, his silence.

And let us offer, all of us,  

The violence unto His Kingdom; 

The labour to spend ourselves

On behalf of each other;

And the care so that our obedience unto our Lord 

Is never broken.

Let us all offer Joy to our dearest Father with such gifts.

— And now, you, beloved, honourable Father,

Cease not, tire not praying to God,

Seeking His Mercy for all of us,

Atoning for our sins.

Disobedient, defiled children are we,

Yet for the sake of your love for your children,

May we all be drawn together,

Unto the Kingdom of Heaven.
