THAT ALL MAY BE ATTONED

Let balance bring redemption , let justice bring reprieve
let wisdom bring the way to wend in all that is conceived
let might be measured merciful , let giving bring the goal
and the dawn awakened to the touch that makes our half life whole

Let reason rhyme in greater part , let peace prevail the perfect plan
let the spirit rise in higher hope to hold the healing hand
let cause contend creation’s game , let the makers mind be known
and let the answer be exulted now
that all may be atoned
Let compassion call the colours right , let the likeness live in all
let direction dream the dawn of dawns in true love’s sweet recall
let the doorway open to believe , let the light come shining through
let purpose proven sing the song of all that’s real and true

Let grace be gained to give in truth , let fortune be fulfilled
let love in vision call the count , one way , one word , one will
let cause contend creation’s game , let the makers mind be known
and let the answer be exulted now
that all may be atoned .
