O CHALICE PURE AND HOLY
As we raise again our Cup of Light,
Songs of praise and prayers are blending
To thee blessed "I AM" Presence bright -
Feeling now thy Love descending.
From our hearts,
In loving adoration, now flows
Gratitude for Pow'rs Divine -
Raising all to the Ascension.
Now the Light from thine own Cosmic Heart
Fills our Cup to overflowing;
And we stand as from the world apart
Love's great Pow'r within us glowing.
As we raise our eyes,
Thy Light from Heaven we see,
In our Consciousness Divine,
All the life on Earth enfolding.
May our hearts become a Chalice pure;
Ever thy great Love dispensing
To all life that we may Peace ensure -
Every need and sorrow sensing.
May our footsteps walk
In paths so narrow and straight
Gently guided by thy hand -
Mastery of Life attaining.

BELOVED MOTHER MARY
Blessed Mother Mary,
In thy Love and Grace
And thy Mother Feeling
Enfold all the race;
Consecrate us, Mary dear,
Body, spirit, soul and mind;
Let thy Healing Essence
Bless now all mankind.
Raise mankind's attention
To thy Realms on high,
'Til they know God's Presence,
And on him rely
To grant now each one's desire
To his great Perfection be;
And stand forth in glory -
Free eternally.
Blessed Master Jesus;
Mother Mary dear;
Help us give obedience
In our service here -
Raising all God's life on Earth
Until, just like thee, we win
Our Ascension's Vict'ry
By God's Light within.
