Be as a father to your son,

A father, 

whose right hand does divide the water.

Be as a Father and I as your son,

Who will never cease in his love,

Persevering for ages to spilling blood,

For the safety and success of his own,

That wheresoever I may go 

I may be searched and known,

That sensing your holy presence,

And I within the palm of your almighty hand,

I may know you as the one

Who makes flee the troubles that I cannot withstand,

That one day you make undone

all evil in this world that faces your dear son. 

With you beside, above, and in my body to this day,

I may fight and die a martyr, victorious in the Way.

And being a son of the almighty God above,

I may become a father to all, 

Giving birth and making sons until I die and do fall.

And upon the ground, bleeding, I will once more call, 

Lord, be as a father and I as yours, as your one and only son.

Տէր, Հայր իմ եղիր եւ ես քո որդի:
