2.	O Companion 03:13	lyrics	buy track
O companion of my throne , Hear no evil and see no evil; Abase not thyself neither sigh nor weep And speak no evil that thou mayest not hear it spoken unto thee! Magnify not the faults of others , That thine own faults may not appear great And wish not the abasement of anyone , That thine own abasement be not exposed Live then the days of thy life that are less that a fleeting moment With thy mind stainless thy heart unsullied Thy thoughts pure thy nature sanctified So that free and content , thou mayest put away this mortal frame And repair unto the mystic paradise And a bide in the eternal kingdom...... Forever more forever more forever more
