Glory to thee, Spirit! Glory to thee, Holy One! Glory to the glory! Amen.
We praise thee, O Father. We give thanks to thee,
O Light wherein dwelleth not darkness. Amen.

95. Now whereas we give thanks, I say;

I would be saved, and I would save. Amen.
I would be loosed, and I would loose. Amen.
I would be pierced, and I would pierce. Amen.
I would be born, and I would bear. Amen.
I would eat, and I would be eaten. Amen.
I would hear, and I would be heard. Amen.
I would be understood, being wholly understanding. Amen.
I would wash myself, and I would wash. Amen.

Grace is dancing.

I would pipe, dance all of you! Amen.
I would mourn, lament all of you! Amen.[1]
An Ogdoad is singing with us. Amen.
The Twelfth number is dancing above. Amen.
And the Whole that can dance. Amen.
He that danceth not, knoweth not what is being done. Amen.
I would flee and I would stay. Amen.
I would deck, and I would be decked. Amen.
I would be united, and I would unite. Amen.
I have no house, and I have houses. Amen.
