I. Introit
Requiem aeternam, dona eis requiem
(Give them eternal rest)
Unto them from whose eyes
the veil of life hath fallen
may there be granted
the attainment of their true Wills.
Whether they will absorption into the Infinite,
or to be united with their chosen and preferred,
or to be in contemplation,
or to be at peace,
or to achieve the labor
and heroism of incarnation
on this planet or another,
or in any Star, or aught else
Unto them from whose eyes
the veil of life hath fallen
may there be granted
the attainment of their true Wills.
II. KYRIE
Kyrie eleison (Lord, have mercy!)
Term of all who liveth
Whose name is inscrutable
Be favorable to us
In Thine hour.
III. Gradual
In memoria aeterna erit iustus
(In eternal remembrance, they will be justified)
Unto them from whose eyes
the veil of life hath fallen
may there be granted
the attainment of their true Wills.
IV. Tract
But ye, o my people, rise up & awake!
Let the rituals be rightly performed with joy & beauty!
A feast for fire and a feast for water;
a feast for life and a greater feast for death!
But ye, o my people, rise up & awake!
Let the rituals be rightly performed with joy & beauty!
A feast every day in your hearts in the joy of my rapture!
V. Sequence
Liber scriptus proferetur
in quo totum continetur,
unde mundus judicetur
Judex ergo cum sedebit,
Quidquid latet apparebit.
Nil inultum remanebit.
(A book will be brought forth,
in which all will be written,
by which the world will be judged
When the judge takes his seat
all that is hidden shall appear
Nothing will remain unavenged.)
Let Fire and the Air make sweet the world!
Dies irae, dies illa
(Day of wrath that consumeth the world.)
I am a man among men.
How should I be worthy?
Let Fire and the Air make sweet the world!
VI. Offertory
Make open the path of creation
and of intelligence
Make open the path of creation
between us and our minds.
Encourage our hearts
Enlighten our understanding
Let thy light crystallize itself in our blood,
fulfilling us of Resurrection.
Make open the path of creation
and of intelligence
Make open the path of creation
between us and our minds.
VII. Hostias
Thou who art, beyond all I am,
Who has no nature and no name,
Thou, the true fire within the reed
Brooding and breeding, source and seed
Seed of life, love, and light,
beyond speech and beyond sight,
Thee we invoke, abiding one,
Thou center, secret of the Sun!
VIII. Sanctus
Thou that art One,
our Lord in the Universe the Sun,
our Lord in ourselves
whose name is Mystery of Mystery,
uttermost being whose radiance
enlightening the worlds
is also the breath that
maketh even Death to tremble before Thee
Thou that art One,
Our Lord in the Universe the Sun,
Be thou glorious, glorious,
glorious on the throne.
IX. AGNUS DEI
O circle of Stars whereof our Father
is but the younger brother,
marvel beyond imagination,
soul of infinite space,
before whom Time is ashamed,
the mind bewildered,
the understanding dark,
not unto Thee may we attain,
unless Thine image be Love.
X. Lux Aeterna
Lux perpetua luceat eis
(Let perpetual light shine upon them)
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
In our continued labor and enjoyment
so that as we are constant partakers of thy bounty
we may give out light and life, sustenance and joy
to those that revolve about us
Et lux perpetua luceat eis
Unto them from eyes
the veil of life hath fallen
may there be granted
the attainment of their Will.
XI. Pie Jesu
Secret and most holy,
source of life and love,
Secret and most holy,
source of all, we plead:
Be thou ever constant
mighty within us,
force of energy, fire of motion,
font of liberty
Secret and most holy,
Source of life and love
Secret and most holy
Source of all we need.
With diligence let us ever
labor with thee,
that we may remain
in thine abundant joy!
XII. In Paradisum
In paradisum deducant te Angeli
(May angels lead you into paradise)
Mysterious Energy, mysterious matter,
the interplay of which things weave
the dance of the Veil of Life
upon the Face of the Spirit,
let there be Harmony
and Beauty in your mystic love,
that in us may be health
and strength and divine pleasure
Let the gates of life
be open in peace,
In peace
and in well-being,
Let each pursue their Will
as a strong man that rejoiceth in his way,
as the course of a Star that blazeth for ever
among the joyous company of Heaven.
In paradisum deducant te Angeli
XIII. Benedictus
Upon those that gather here
Who unite in love
Let fall success,
Let fall success.
May strength and skill
Unite to bring forth ecstasy
And beauty answer beauty,
And beauty answer beauty.
Upon those that gather here
Who unite in love
Let fall success,
Let fall success.
