Latin.png Latin text

Egressus eius a patre,
regressus eius ad patrem
excursus usque ad infernos
recursus ad sedem Dei.

English.png English translation by Philip Schaff

From God the Father He proceeds,
To God the Father back He speeds:
Proceeds—as far as very hell:
Speeds back—to light ineffable.
