I take his yoke upon me and the beasts are dumb.

They lie quiet in the outer court while I pass into the sanctuary.

I feel the higher love which .dwells there.

It is flowing into and filling me with its sacred fire.

I can do all things. dare all things, for the love I bear to others.

I lift my hand unto the highest heaven and invoke its blessings upon them.

Let them pass over me, 0 Lord God Almighty ! so these are ministered unto Make me more and more a worthy mediator between them and thee !

Purge me utterly till all that is unlike thee is gone!

I offer myself a living sacrifice.

I lay the creature in me upon thine altar. Let thy fire consume it completely.

I pour its blood upon the ground for it belongs not in thy dwelling-place.
