Lyrics

I am the daughter of Fortitude,
and ravished every hour from my youth,
for behold, I am understanding and science dwelleth in me:
and the heavens oppress me,
They cover and desire me with infinite appetite
few or none that are earthly have embraced me
for I am shadowed with the circle of the son:
and covered with the morning clouds:
My feet are swifter than the winds,
and my hands are sweeter than the morning dew.

My garments are from the beginning:
and my dwelling place is in myself.
The lion knoweth not where I walk:
neither do the beast of the field understand me.
I am deflowered and yet a virgin.
I sanctify and am not sanctified
happy is he that embraceth me.
for in the night season I am sweet,
and in the day full of pleasure.

My company is a harmony of many Symbols
And my lips sweeter than health itself.
I am a harlot for such as ravish me:
and a virgin with such as know me not:
For lo, I am loved of many: and I am a lover to many:
and as many as come unto me as they should do,
have their entertainment.
Purge your streets O you sons of men,
and wash your houses clean.

Make yourselves holy, and put on righteousness.
Cast out your old strumpets, and burn their clothes.
Abstain from the company of other women that are defiled,
that are sluttish, and not so handsome, and beautiful as I.
And then will I come and dwell amongst you.
And behold I will bring forth Children unto you:
and they shall be the sons of comfort
I will open my garments,
and stand naked before you
that your love may be more enflamed toward me.

As yet, I walk in the clouds,
As yet, I am carried with the winds:
And cannot descend unto you
for the multitude of your abominations,
and the filthy loathsomeness of your dwelling places.
Behold the four,
who is he, that shall say, they have sinned:
or unto whom shall they make account?
Not unto you, you sons of men,
nor unto your children:
for unto the lord belongeth
the judgment of his servants.

No therefore, let the earth give forth her fruits unto you:
And let the mountains forsake their barrenness
where your footsteps shall remain.

Strong am I above and below.
Therefore, provide for me.
for behold I now salute you.
And let peace be amongst you:
for I am the Daughter of Comfort.
