Sacred Chants

We sing and through our music call the power

That alone can heal the sorrow of the world,

Transforming strains a spirit wideness bring,

A music falls, a cadence on the ear

Attuned to heights from which our souls came down.

An innerness of harmony we seek

Unburdened of ambivalence of mind,

Conventions of the sense-conditioned ear,

To find within the silence and the song

Diviner sounds sung by diviner man,

The Singer who upon the cosmic lyre

Shall lift our hearts, our sacred chants inspire.
