1
At this feast the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me and laying aside my garments, I danced before the Lord and sang unto the Lord a new song saying, Blessed art thou, O Lord, who hast given unto man knowledge of thy ways that he might understand thy wonders and discern thy truths and see thine abundant mercies.
2
Blessed art thou, O God, who art full of compassion and grace, for the greatness of thy power, the abundance of thy truth, the profusion of thy mercies over all thy works.
3
Rejoice the soul of thy servant in thy truth and through thy righteousness make me clean before thee.
4
Blessed art thou, O Lord, for thou hast placed in the mouth of thy servant the sacred words of power that I might stand as thy minister continually that I may confer thy grace upon thy children and that I myself may return to thy presence.
