O God, my God! We are servants of Thine
that have turned with devotion to Thy
Holy Face, that have detached ourselves from all
besides Thee in this glorious Day. We have gathered
in this Spiritual Assembly, united in our
views and thoughts, with our purposes harmonized
to exalt Thy Word amidst mankind. O Lord,
our God! Make us the signs of Thy Divine Guidance,
the Standards of Thine exalted Faith amongst
men, servants to Thy mighty Covenant, O Thou
our Lord Most High, manifestations of Thy Divine
Unity in Thine Abhá Kingdom, and resplendent
stars shining upon all regions. Lord! Aid
us to become seas surging with the billows of Thy
wondrous Grace, streams flowing from Thine
all-glorious Heights, goodly fruits upon the Tree
of Thy heavenly Cause, trees waving through the
breezes of Thy Bounty in Thy celestial Vineyard.
O God! Make our souls dependent upon the Verses
of Thy Divine Unity, our hearts cheered with the
outpourings of Thy Grace, that we may unite even
as the waves of one sea and become merged together
as the rays of Thine effulgent Light; that
our thoughts, our views, our feelings may become
as one reality, manifesting the spirit of union
throughout the world. Thou art the Gracious,
the Bountiful, the Bestower, the Almighty, the
Merciful, the Compassionate.
- `Abdu'l-Bahá
