O peerless Lord! In Thine almighty wisdom
Thou hast enjoined marriage upon the peoples,
that the generations of men may succeed one
another in this contingent world, and that ever, so
long as the world shall last, they may busy themselves
at the Threshold of Thy oneness with servitude
and worship, with salutation, adoration and
praise. "I have not created spirits and men, but
that they should worship me."
[1]
Wherefore, wed
Thou in the heaven of Thy mercy these two birds
of the nest of Thy love, and make them the means
of attracting perpetual grace; that from the union
of these two seas of love a wave of tenderness
may surge and cast the pearls of pure and goodly
issue on the shore of life. "He hath let loose the
two seas, that they meet each other: Between
them is a barrier which they overpass not. Which
then of the bounties of your Lord will ye deny?
From each He bringeth up greater and lesser
pearls."
[2]
