- LXXXVIII.
- In the name of the great life
- Be glorified the noble light.
- Urgently I exhort you, my elect,
- who have gone up with me to the Jordan.
- Twist and change me not,
- change me not with your hand.
- Twist and do not change me,
- you men who have heard the call of life.
- He who listens to the call of life is built up.
- He is built up and armed,
- and his strength is doubled.
- Again, he who listens to the call of life
- receives rich gain.
- He neither gains nor loses;
- he is united with the Great.
- He is united with the Great One,
- he ascends and beholds the place of light.
- Life is held high and is victorious,
- and victorious is the man who has gone here.
