Who can contemplate
Eternity being born,
Power itself failing,
Bread going hungry,
the Spring itself growing thirsty,
without becoming speechless?
But who can contemplate
the beginning of our salvation,
the day of human healing,
without bursting forth
in a voice of exultation and praise,
the sound of one keeping festival?
God has been made a man;
who knows how to speak about that?
Our Jesus,
our Savior,
our joy,
comes among us;
who can keep silent?
And if we can neither keep silence nor speak,
what can we do except rejoice?
Therefore, let us rejoice in God our salvation!
