Symbols



One God and Spirit,
One and alone,
Cause and Creator,
the Father of all.

Three-- sun, moon and stars
three lights in  heavens,
Life, Truth and Love-
 threefold nature,
the essence of God.

Four-- in the compass,
four walls, four seasons,
four, as foundation,
in the city "foursquare".

Seven days of creation,
seven-- symbol of perfection,
seven-- the full revelation
of infinite One.
