"O Thou kind God! That scattered assembly is..."
| |
1 |
O Thou kind God! That scattered assembly
[1]
is
Thine, and that gathering of friends is of Thee. Their
eyes are opened, their hearts in tune with Thy love, and
their ears in communion with Thy hidden mysteries.
| |
2 |
O Thou who art self-sufficient! Let a beautiful song
reach this people from the birds of that garden, that
they may warble, rejoice and be happy, implore and
supplicate the Lord.
| |
3 |
O Thou Educator! Train that assembly of the
righteous; comfort them; set their hearts aglow with
the fire of Thy love; acquaint them with Thy mystery
and commune with them, so that they may find Thy
kingdom of mysteries, become of the people of piety
and leading in liberty.
| |
4 |
Grant them the soul immortal; enrich them above
the world, and detach them from the world; usher them
into the tent of Thy Kingdom and give them a portion
of the divine bounty.
| |
5 |
Bestow upon them the everlasting life and bless
them with the new teachings. Make every one a
lighted torch and a warbling nightingale -- the king of
the rose in the garden. Reveal to them Thine attractive
beauty; make each a growing tree on the shore of
Thy guidance, bearing the fruit of Thy grace. Thus
may the East illumine the West and the West become
the East of the Supreme Heaven.
| |
6 |
Verily, Thou art the Powerful, the Almighty, and
verily Thou art the Precious, the Omnipotent, the
Omniscient!
