Harmonious and eternal Principle of man,

Nameless and adorable intelligence,

Spiritualize man;

Control the discords of matter with the harmony of Spirit

Give us the understanding of God,

And Truth will destroy sickness sin and death,

as it destroys the belief of intelligent matter,

And lead man into Soul, and deliver him

from personal sense,

For God is Truth, Life and Love forever
