Glorified art Thou, O Lord my God! … I beseech Thee, by
Thine own Self and by Him Whom Thou hast appointed as the Manifestation of
Thine own Being and Thy discriminating Word unto all that are in heaven and on
earth, to gather together Thy servants beneath the shade of the Tree of Thy
gracious providence. Help them, then, to partake of its fruits, to incline
their ears to the rustling of its leaves, and to the sweetness of the voice of
the Bird that chanteth upon its branches. (Baha’u’llah, ‘Prayers and
Meditations by Baha’u’llah’)
