Track 14: Exerpts from the Gnostic Mass
Lord visible and sensible of whom this earth is but a
frozen spark turning about thee with annual and diurnal
motion, source of light, source of life, let thy
perpetual radiance hearten us to continual labour and
enjoyment; so that as we are constant partakers of thy
bounty we may in our particular orbit give out light
and life, sustenance and joy to them that revolve about
us without diminution of substance or effulgence for ever.
So mote it be.
Lord secret and most holy, source of light, source of
life, source of love, source of liberty, be thou ever
constant and mighty within us, force of energy, fire of
motion; with diligence let us ever labour with thee,
that we may remain in thine abundant joy.
So mote it be.
Lady of night, that turning ever about us art now
visible and now invisible in thy season, be thou
favourable to hunters, and lovers, and to all men that
toil upon the earth, and to all mariners upon the sea.
So mote it be.
Giver and receiver of joy, gate of life and love, be
thou ever ready, thou and thine handmaiden, in thine
office of gladness.
