(capo 5) Dm Am C G

O ESSENCE OF NEGLIGENCE! 
Myriads of mystic tongues find utterance 
in one speech, 

and myriads of hidden mysteries are revealed 
in a single melody; 

yet, alas, there is no ear to hear, nor heart to understand.

O Essence Of Negligence (Remastered) - jtdubss

Inspired by some recent reading of Kierkegaard's Purity of Heart Is To Will One Thing.   This idea of man living in time and at the same time always responsible and answerable to the Eternal. The idea of the eleventh hour has perhaps been cheapened in the 20th and 21st century; the term has almost certainly been abused, used ironically to serve this or that end.  But the irony of ironies, indeed the irony of irony itself, is that the Eleventh Hour is ever with us as this kind of hint or ambassador of Eternity, this final moment in time before time slips away. 

Eleventh Hour

Here is the quotation used for the lyrics:

"Blessed is the spot, and the house, and the place, and the city, and the heart, and the mountain, and the refuge, and the cave, and the valley, and the land, and the sea, and the island, and the meadow where mention of God hath been made, and His praise glorified."  - Baha'u'llah

"Blessed Is the Spot" by Friends in Vancouver

Holy words and pure and goodly deeds ascend unto the heaven of celestial glory. 
Beware, O people of Bahá, lest ye walk in the ways of them whose words differ from their deeds.
