The Great Invocation
From the point of Light within the Mind of Good
Let light stream forth into human hearts
Let Light descend on Earth.
From the point of Love within the Heart of God
Let love stream forth into human hearts
May love increase on Earth.
From the center where the Will of God is known
Let purpose guide human will–
The purpose which the Masters know and serve.
From the center which we call the human race
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out
And may it seal the door where evil dwells.
Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.
Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.
Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.
