| Thou who art I, beyond all I am,
|
| Who hast no nature and no name,
|
| Who art, when all but thou are gone,
|
| Thou, centre and secret of the Sun,
|
| Thou, hidden spring of all things known
|
| And unknown, Thou aloof, alone,
|
| Thou, the true fire within the reed
|
| Brooding and breeding, source and seed
|
| Of life, love, liberty, and light,
|
| Thou beyond speech and beyond sight,
|
| Thee I invoke, my faint fresh fire
|
| Kindling as mine intents aspire.
|
| Thee I invoke, abiding one,
|
| Thee, centre and secret of the Sun,
|
| And that most holy mystery
|
| Of which the vehicle am I.
|
| Appear, most awful and most mild,
|
| As it is lawful, in thy child!
|
| For of the Father and the Son
|
| The Holy Spirit is the norm;
|
| Male-female, quintessential, one,
|
| Man-being veiled in woman-form.
|
| Glory and worship in the highest,
|
| Thou Dove, mankind that deifiest,
|
| Being that race, most royally run
|
| To spring sunshine through winter storm.
|
| Glory and worship be to Thee,
|
| Sap of the world-ash, wonder-tree!
|
| Glory to thee from gilded tomb!
|
| Glory to thee from waiting womb!
|
| Glory to Thee from earth unploughed!
|
| Glory to Thee from virgin vowed!
|
| Glory to Thee, true Unity
|
| Of the eternal Trinity!
|
| Glory to Thee, thou sire and dam
|
| And self of I am that I am!
|
| Glory to thee from gilded tomb!
|
| Glory to thee from waiting womb!
|
| Glory to Thee from earth unploughed!
|
| Glory to Thee from virgin vowed!
|
| Glory to Thee, true Unity
|
| Of the eternal Trinity!
|
| Glory to Thee, thou sire and dam
|
| And self of I am that I am! |
