From the point of light

Within the mind of God

Let Light descend on earth

From the point within the part of God

Let love stream from the hearts of men

May Christ return to earth

From the center where the will of God is known

Let purpose guide the little wills of men

The purpose which the Masters know and serve

From the center which we call the race of men

Let the plan of light and love work out

And May it seal the door…
