THE RULERS OF AMERICA 61 62 63 |
HEARKEN ye, O Rulers of America and the Presidents
of the Republics therein, unto that
which the Dove is warbling on the Branch of
Eternity: There is none other God but Me, the
Ever-Abiding, the Forgiving, the All-Bountiful. Adorn ye
the temple of dominion with the ornament of justice and of
the fear of God, and its head with the crown of the remembrance
of your Lord, the Creator of the heavens. Thus
counselleth you He Who is the Dayspring of Names, as
bidden by Him Who is the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.
The Promised One hath appeared in this glorified Station,
whereat all beings, both seen and unseen, have rejoiced.
Take ye advantage of the Day of God. Verily, to meet Him
is better for you than all that whereon the sun shineth,
could ye but know it. O concourse of rulers! Give ear unto
that which hath been raised from the Dayspring of Grandeur:
Verily, there is none other God but Me, the Lord of
Utterance, the All-Knowing. Bind ye the broken with the
hands of justice, and crush the oppressor who flourisheth
with the rod of the commandments of your Lord, the
Ordainer, the All-Wise.
