Jesus Christ, Man of Heaven,
blessed be your name from this time
forth and forevermore.
May we never forget the day when you
brought your people out of the house of slavery,
when you shed the image of the man of dust
to bear the image of the man of heaven.
Because you did, we people of dust
will also bear the image of the man of heaven;
and you will be with us always,
to the end of the age.
