O Thou kind Lord! Thou hast created all
humanity from the same stock. Thou hast
decreed that all shall belong to the same household.
In Thy Holy Presence they are all Thy servants,
and all mankind are sheltered beneath Thy
Tabernacle; all have gathered together at Thy
Table of Bounty; all are illumined through the
light of Thy Providence.

2 |
O God! Thou art kind to all, Thou hast provided
for all, dost shelter all, conferrest life upon
all. Thou hast endowed each and all with talents
and faculties, and all are submerged in the Ocean
of Thy Mercy.
| |
3 |
O Thou kind Lord! Unite all. Let the religions
agree and make the nations one, so that they may
see each other as one family and the whole earth
as one home. May they all live together in perfect
harmony.
| |
4 |
O God! Raise aloft the banner of the oneness of
mankind.
| |
5 |
O God! Establish the Most Great Peace.
| |
6 |
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.
| |
7 |
Thou art the Mighty and Powerful, Thou art
the Forgiving and Thou art the One Who overlooketh
the shortcomings of all mankind.
- `Abdu'l-Bahá
