Create in
me a pure heart, O my God, and renew a tranquil conscience within me, O my
Hope! Through the spirit of power confirm Thou me in Thy Cause, O my
Best-Beloved, and by the light of Thy glory reveal unto me Thy path, O Thou the
Goal of my desire! Through the power of Thy transcendent might lift me up unto
the heaven of Thy holiness, O Source of my being, and by the breezes of Thine
eternity gladden me, O Thou Who art my God! Let Thine everlasting melodies
breathe tranquillity on me, O my Companion, and let the riches of Thine ancient
countenance deliver me from all except Thee, O my Master, and let the tidings
of the revelation of Thine incorruptible Essence bring me joy, O Thou Who art
the most manifest of the manifest and the most hidden of the hidden!
