9- Thy Light, I bow to

Here, then, is the fourth and last stage of the soul’s long journey through time and space: The Redemption.

Lord, we offer up the little light that is in us into Thy blazing light of Infinity.

Grant us the grace to know Thee, and make us ever-increasingly pure channels of Thy love to all.

Thy light within us shining

Has shown where freedom lies:

From earthly walls confining

To soar in Spirit’s skies!

How oft, like sheep, we’ve strayed apart!

Now, guided by Thy ray,

In inner freedom of the heart

Our night has turned to day!

We celebrate the grace of God that has come anew to earth through our line of gurus: Jesus Christ, Babaji, Lahiri Mahasaya, Sri Yukteswar, and Paramhansa Yogananda.

Joyfully lifting up our hearts in song, we pray that we, who earnestly seek communion with Your light, receive it in our lives abundantly.

Father, Mother, Friend, our God,

We Thy wonders all acclaim.

May our thoughts be only of Thee;

Train our hearts to sing Thy name.

All desires born of delusion

Here we lay, Lord, at Thy feet.

Thy one light brought by our great Masters,

Make us ever one with Thee.
