Melting Snow

Sunday Poem: Glory of the Lord

Jamál (Beauty), 12 Bahá (Splendor) 175 B.E. - Sunday, April 1, 2018

Beautiful Sunday,
a cloudy sky with sunshine,
praise the Glory of the Lord.1

Upon the cross Christ died,
and instilled,
a new capacity
within the human soul.

Over the centuries his faith spread,
and prepared
the soil of the human spirit
for the coming
of the Seal of the Prophets,
the Gate of God,
and the Glory of the Lord.

The time has come for peace,
the Glory of the Lord
has come
proclaiming the oneness of humanity,
the oneness of religion,
and the oneness of God.

Raise your voices in praise,
proclaim the glorious news:

"Ye are the fruits of one tree, and the leaves of one branch. Deal ye one with another with the utmost love and harmony, with friendliness and fellowship"

Baha'u'llah2
