What is the staff and stay of your soul?

May this light be the staff and stay of your soul, my brother.

Infinite Father,

We once more embrace Thee, as the friend of humanity,

Giving out the intuitions of our souls

like the sweet odour of flowers, which charm the heart of man.

We behold Thine infinite wisdom in Thy outstretched arm

Overshadowing all Thy children with Thy wide embrace.

We recognise in Thee, Our Father and Our Mother.

We see our true destiny

When we rise above the trammels,

Which overshadow our minds and bind our thoughts in darkness.

Thou hast given the liberty to think to every one of Thy children.

Infinite Father, We love Thee, We adore Thee,

We offer up our feeble petitions to Thee for Thine aid

And comfort from the sorrows of humanity.

May we be all awakened to a realising sense of Thy great mercy, 

And Thy divine care over all the children of the earth.

Help us, O Father, in our efforts to unfold this great banner of love

And light over every church in Christendom,

Over the desolate and waste places,

Over the downtrodden, and the outcasts of the earth.

May they all see the light of Thy countenance, 

And learn Thy loving kindness and power over all.

Hear us now, and help us in our efforts to dispense truth.

In Thee, we have our being.

In Thee, we put our trust,

Bowing, in submission to that divine law,

Which ministers alike to every child of Thine.

Help us to liberate the soul of man

from the bondage of sect and dogma.

May this light be the staff and stay of your soul, my brother.
