"Bendito es el Sitio" by Shirin & Daniel

My God, my Adored One, my King, my Desire! 
What tongue can voice my thanks to Thee? 
I was heedless, Thou didst awaken me. 
I had turned back from Thee, 
Thou didst graciously aid me to turn towards Thee. 

I was as one dead, Thou didst quicken me with the water of life. 
I was withered, Thou didst revive me 
with the heavenly stream of Thine utterance 
which hath flowed forth from the Pen of the All-Merciful.

O Divine Providence! All existence is begotten by Thy bounty; 
deprive it not of the waters of Thy generosity, 
neither do Thou withhold it from the ocean of Thy mercy. 
I beseech Thee to aid and assist me 
at all times and under all conditions, 
and seek from the heaven of Thy grace 
Thine ancient favor. 
Thou art, in truth, the Lord of bounty, 
and the Sovereign of the kingdom of eternity.

From Prayers and Meditations by Bahá’u’lláh, CLXXIII

The Light of Unity

My God My Adored One

God grant that the light of unity may envelop the whole earth, and that the seal, “the Kingdom is God’s”, may be stamped upon the brow of all its peoples.

From Gleanings From the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, VII
