The PRIEST: O Lion and O Serpent that destroy the destroyer, be mighty among us. O Lion and O Serpent that destroy the destroyer, be mighty among us. O Lion and O Serpent that destroy the destroyer, be mighty among us. The PRIEST joins hands upon the breast of the PRIESTESS, and takes back his Lance. He turns to the Peoÿle, lowers and raises the Lance, and makes upon them. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. The PEOPLE: Love is the law, love under will. He lowers the Lance, and turns to East. The PRIESTESS takes the Lance in her right hand. With her left hand she offers the Paten. The PRIEST kneels. The PRIEST: In my mouth be the essence of the life of the Sun! He takes the Host with the right hand, makes with it on the Paten, and consumes it. Silence. The PRIESTESS takes, uncovers, and offers the Cup, as before. The PRIEST: In my mouth be the essence of the joy of the earth!
