"totus in Verbo Pater"

Jessie Eastland
"Shortly after Sunrise,
High Desert, California," 2012.

With the dawn [its] course advances

     [(alt.:  The dawn of [its] course
          advances)];

with the dawn may the whole
     [Godhead] appear,

in the Father the whole Son

and in the Word the whole Father

     [(alt.:  and the whole-in-the-Word
          Father)].

Aurora cursus prouehit;

aurora totus prodeat

in Patre totus Filius,

et totus in Verbo Pater.

     St. Ambrose, "Splendor paternae gloriae," stanza 8.  Latin from Ambroise de Milan:  hymnes, ed. Jacques Fontaine, Patrimones, Christianisme (Paris:  Cerf, 2008 [1992]), 187.  Cf. PL 16, cols. 1411/1412.  Joseph Connelly, Hymns of the Roman liturgy (Westminster, MD:  The Newman Press, 1957), no. 12, p. 20:

Aurora lucem provehit,

Cum luce nobis prodeat

In Patre totus Filius,

Et totus in Verbo Pater.

The dawn advances the light.

With the light may there appear to us

In the Father the whole Son,

And the whole-in-the-Word Father.
