Parent of all Love and Wisdom,
Mother-Father God: we turn unto Thy Soul,
which is the soul of Life and Love Eternal,
praising Thee for the all-bountiful
and perfect evidence of Thy Presence.
As in the outer world
the sunshine is more radiant
and all nature responds with greater joy
and thanksgiving unto life,
and every leaf seeks to express its perfection,
and every blossom to yield its
sweetest incense and beauty,
and still more joy seems to follow
the rustling of the winds among the trees,
and sound of the waves that break in songs
of praise upon the sand;
and the sky, with wonderful clearness,
reveals the glory of that rapturous light
that pulsates throbbing from within the soul
that feels the prophecy of the New Life,
that responds unto the New Light,
that declares, forever and forever the divinity
of that Image that is within,
and repeats itself in myriad anthems of praise.
Unto that charmed altar Thy children turn;
and others, though not aware,
turn in silence seeking the innermost shrine.
Unto that glad, New Shrine,
as unto a new morning, as unto a new perfect Earth,
with hearts newly awakened unto Divine Love,
may Thy children turn and in its Light
grow strong and perfect,
full of the splendor of the new Day,
full of the peace that passeth not away;
may the import of this hour be known unto all,
and may such words and thoughts
as are breathed give forth the abundance of their blossoms
until the world is filled
with the incense of the lilies of immortal life.
OOOOMMMMMMMMMM
