O my Lord, O my Lord! These two bright orbs are wedded in
Thy love, conjoined in servitude to Thy Holy Threshold, united in ministering
to Thy Cause. Make Thou this marriage to be as threading lights of Thine
abounding grace, O my Lord, the All-Merciful, and luminous rays of Thy
bestowals, O Thou the Beneficent, the Ever-Giving, that
there may branch out from this great tree boughs that will grow green and
flourishing through the gifts that rain down from Thy clouds of grace.
Verily Thou art the Generous, verily Thou art the Almighty,
verily Thou art the Compassionate, the All-Merciful.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections
from the Writinfs of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
