Cement Thou, O God, the hearts together.
O Thou kind Father, God! Gladden our hearts through the fragrance of Thy
love. Brighten our eyes through the Light of Thy Guidance. Delight our
ears with the melody of Thy Word, and shelter us all in the Stronghold of
Thy Providence.
Thou art the Mighty and Powerful, Thou art the Forgiving and Thou art the
One Who overlooketh the shortcomings of all mankind.
--'Abdu'l-Baha
"O God, O Thou Who hast cast Thy splendor..."
O God, O Thou Who hast cast Thy splendor over the luminous realities of
men, shedding upon them the resplendent lights of knowledge and guidance,
and hast chosen them out of all created things for this supernal grace,
and hast caused them to encompass all things, to understand their inmost
essence, and to disclose their mysteries, bringing them forth out of
darkness into the visible world! "He verily showeth His special mercy to
whomsoever He will."(2)
O Lord, help Thou Thy loved ones to acquire knowledge and the sciences and
arts, and to unravel the secrets that are treasured up in the inmost
reality of all created beings.
