This Bread I eat. This Oath I swear
As I enflame myself with prayer:
I stanch the Blood; the wafer soaks
It up, and the high priest invokes!
Behold this bleeding breast of mine
Gashed with the sacramental sign!
I burn the Incense-cake, proclaim
These adorations of Thy name.
That Thy one crown of all the Ten
Even now and here be mine. AMEN.
Bring me through midnight to the Sun!
Save me from Evil and from Good!
Thy reign is come; Thy will is done.
Here is the Bread; here is the Blood.
ABRAHADABRA
Now I begin to pray: Thou Child,
Holy Thy name and undefiled!
I strike the Bell: I light the Flame;
I utter the mysterious Name.
East of the Altar see me stand
With light and musick in my hand!
Hail Ra, that goest in thy bark
Into the caverns of the Dark!
