Thou, Solar Breath, we recognize;

We seek to aid all life to flow;

O Breath, let us achieve with Thee!

Indwell in all our enterprise;

Forgive us when we see but woe;

O Breath, we wish to flow with Thee!

Thou, Solar Breath, we energize;

We seek to aid all kind to grow;

O Breath, let us expand with Thee!

Be Thou the strength we realize;

Forgive us for all fear we show;

O Breath, we wish to grow with Thee!

Thou, Solar Breath, we idolize;

We seek to aid all light to glow;

O Breath, let us shine forth with Thee!

Be Thou what we immortalize;

Forgive us when our hearts are low;

O Breath, we wish to glow with Thee!

Thou, Solar Breath, we solemnize;

We seek to aid all minds to know;

O Breath, let us reach up with Thee!

Be with us in our least surmise;

Forgive us when our thoughts are slow;

Leader

From our communion with the inner self

May we take forth real outer fruits!

We dedicate ourselves anew to our own flesh and blood,

That all our loved ones may have strength in us;

We dedicate ourselves anew to our own broader heritage,

That we may bless all others of our land and race;

And we dedicate ourselves anew to all the world,

That we may help create a universal fellowship!
