CANTICLE
Isaiah
GLAD TIDINGS
The spirit of the Lord is upon me, - Because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor;
He hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted, To preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
To give unto them that mourn a garland for ashes, - The oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise
for the spirit of heaviness;
That they might be called trees of righteousness, - The planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.
For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, And as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to come forth;
So the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise
To spring forth before all nations.
THE SECOND LESSON
CANTICLE
Bhagavad Gita
THE PATH TO HEAVENLY BIRTH
Fearlessness, singleness of soul, The will always to strive for wisdom; Opened hand and governed appetites;
And piety and love of lonely study:
Humbleness, uprightness, heed to injure nought which lives,
Truthfulness, slowness unto wrath, A mind that lightly letteth go what others prize, And equanimity and charity which spieth no man's faults;
And tenderness towards all that suffer; A contented heart, fluttered by no desires; A bearing mild, modest and grave.
With manhood nobly mixed,
With patience, fortitude and purity; An unrevengeful spirit, never given to rate itself too high
