1
¶p: The Ninth Communion is with the Angel of Power, who fills the sun with heat, and guides the hands of mortals in all their works.
2
¶c: Yours, O Heavenly Father, was the Power, when you ordered a Path for each of us, and all mankind to follow.
3
¶a: Through your Power will my feet tread the Path of the Law; through your Power will my hands perform your works.
4
May the golden river of Power always flow from you to me, and may my body always turn to you, as the flower turns to the sun.
5
¶c: There is no Power except that which flows from the Heavenly Father, even the Light of Ahman.
6
All else is but a dream of dust, a cloud passing over the face of the sun.
7
¶p: No mortal has power over the Spirit; neither has he power, in the day of death, to retain life to himself.
8
¶c: Only that Power, which comes from the Gods, can carry us out from the City of Death in the holy resurrection.
9
¶a: Guide our words and deeds, O Angel of Power, holy messenger of the Heavenly Father, that we may use that Power, which is generated in his Priesthood, only in the cause of good, and the blessing of mankind.
10
¶p: Blessing, and Glory, and Wisdom, and Thanksgiving, and Honor, and Power, and Might, belong to the Heavenly Father forever and ever.
11
¶a: Yours, O Heavenly Father, was the Power, when you ordered a Path for each of us, and all mankind to follow.
12
¶p: What is the deed well done?
13
¶c: It is that done by the Children of Light, who regard the Law as before all other things.
14
¶a: The best of all gifts, therefore, do I beseech of you, O Best of Beings, our Heavenly Father, Lord of Spirits, that the Holy Law will rule within us, through the Angel of your Power.
15
I approach you, with my invocations that your great gifts of Power will protect your Holy Order, that we will be free to live after the heavenly pattern, and that the mind of the Anointed, the Light of Ahman, will rule within each one of us forever.
16
We extol you, Heavenly Father, Blessed Redeemer, Almighty King, and we will bless your Power forever and ever.
17
So long as we are able, and have the Power, so long will we teach the people concerning the deeds which are to be done by them, according to the Holy Law, with love toward the Heavenly Father, the Earthly Mother, the Holy Angels, and all the Children of Light, who till the soil of the Garden of the Lord.
18
Even so do we desire the coming of the Heavenly Order in perfection, that our spirits and our bodies may be purified, even as you are pure.
19
¶p: Yours, O Heavenly Father, is the Power, yes, yours, O Creator of Love, for Love is the source of all Power in the Eternal Priesthood.
20
Through Love, we gain understanding and the inflowing of the Holy Spirit, through which comes all Power.
21
Yes, even knowledge is Power.
22
¶c: Through your Power will we go to the people and teach them, saying:
23
“Trust in the Law, and walk in the ways of the Holy Angels; so will you dwell in the Land of the -Lord your God, and, truly, you will be fed from the feast table of' the Earthly Mother.
24
¶p: "Delight yourself, also, in the Power of the Heavenly Father, and he will give you the desires of your heart in righteousness.
25
¶c: "Let neither pride nor arrogance come out of your mouth, for the Heavenly Father rules by the Holy Law, and by him actions are weighed.
26
¶p: "He brings us down to the grave, and lifts us back up.
27
¶c: "The Power of the Law makes us poor and makes us rich; his Power brings us low and lifts us up.
28
¶p: "He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts up the beggar from the dunghill, enabling him to inherit the throne of glory through his gifts.
29
¶c: "Out of heaven will he thunder on the children of darkness; the Lord will judge, with Power, the ends of the earth."
30
¶p: Hear the voices of the disciples who cry out in the wilderness and the barren desert:
31
"Prepare the Way of the Law; make straight the Paths of the Heavenly Father, and the Earthly Mother, and all the Holy Angels of the day and of the night.
32
¶c: "Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be brought low; the crooked will be made straight, and the rough ways will be made smooth, and all flesh will see the Power of the Law."
33
¶a: We extol you, Heavenly Father, for you have lifted us up.
34
O Lord, our Almighty, Powerful Father, we cried to you, and you have healed us.
35
From the grave, you have brought up the souls of your people; you have kept them alive, that they should not be thrust into darkness.
36
Through the power of your atonement, and the guidance of Light, you have saved us from the evil ones.
37
O Heavenly Father, you are the Law; early and late will we seek your Presence.
38
Our souls thirst for the Law; our flesh longs for the Law.
39
¶p: A river of holy Power is the Law, in a dry and thirsty land where no water is.
40
¶c: Our lips will praise your Power while we live, O Ahman; we will lift up our hands in your name.
41
¶a: We will preserve, we will nurture, your Holy Order, through the fulfillment of your instructions.
42
We will invoke and praise, by day and by night, your holy Power, and that Power will come to help us; it will be as if there were a thousand angels watching over one person.
43
To you, Heavenly Father, belong all Power, and all Mercy, for the Holy Law renders to everyone according to his work.
