The Lord, the LORD, is holy only.

And He, the LORD, dwells within us as we take refuge in Him.

May I be a rock, set upon the Rock.

His Spirit hovers over my restless and formless parts within me.

His hand forms my innermost man.

And He bades me come and approach His unapproachable Light.

Praise the Lord, the LORD, who is peace to those in pieces!
Praise the Lord, the LORD, who is refuge to those refused!
Praise the Lord, the LORD, who is might to those who might faint!
Praise the Lord, the LORD, who is delight to those within his Light!
Praise the Lord, the LORD, who is faithful to those who are faithless!

Holy is the Lord, the LORD, and mighty is His gaze!
