Give Thank for the Manifestations of God: To The Bab

Give Thank for the Manifestations of God:
To The Bab

"Glorified is He to Whom pertaineth the dominion of the heavens and of the earth, in Whose hand lieth the kingdom of all created things and unto Whom shall all return. It is He Who setteth the measure assigned to each and every thing and revealeth His goodly gifts and blessings in His sacred Book for the benefit of those who offer gratitude for His Cause."

The Bab1

Give thanks for each of God's Manifested
for they have proclaimed the Cause of God
each according to the capacity
of humanity
at the time of their appearance.

Each and everyone of them
proclaimed one of the names of God,
and guided
the spiritual and material
evolution of humanity.

Raise your voices in gratitude,
giving thanks for
Abraham,
Moses,
Zoroaster,
Krishna,
Buddha,
Christ,
Muhammad,
The Bab,
and Baha'u'llah.
