Mariner by The Shoreless Sea

lyrics

Bid thine ark of eternity appear before the Celestial Concourse
Glorified be my Lord, the All-Glorious! Glorified by my Lord!

Launch it upon the ancient sea, in His Name, the Most Wondrous
Glorified be my Lord, the All-Glorious! Glorified by my Lord!

And let the angelic spirits enter, in the Name of God, the Most High
Glorified be my Lord, the All-Glorious! Glorified by my Lord!

Unmoor it, then, that it may sail upon the ocean of glory
Glorified be my Lord, the All-Glorious! Glorified by my Lord!

Haply the dwellers therein may attain the retreats of nearness in the everlasting realm
Glorified be my Lord, the All-Glorious! Glorified by my Lord!

Having reached the sacred strand, the shore of the crimson seas
Glorified be my Lord, the All-Glorious! Glorified by my Lord!

Bid them issue forth and attain this ethereal invisible station
Glorified be my Lord, the All-Glorious! Glorified by my Lord!

A station wherein the Lord in the Flame of His Beauty appeared within the deathless tree
Glorified be my Lord, the All-Glorious! Glorified by my Lord!

There the embodiments of His Cause cleansed themselves of self and passion
Glorified be my Lord, the All-Glorious! Glorified by my Lord!

O Mariner! Teach them within the ark what we have taught thee behind the mystic veil
Glorified be my Lord, the All-Glorious! Glorified by my Lord!

Perchance they may not tarry in the sacred snow-white spot
Glorified be my Lord, the All-Glorious! Glorified by my Lord!

But may soar on the wings of the spirit unto that station which the Lord hath exalted above all mention in the worlds below
Glorified be my Lord, the All-Glorious! Glorified by my Lord!

May wing through space even as the favoured birds in the realm of eternal reunion
Glorified be my Lord, the All-Glorious! Glorified by my Lord!

May know the mysteries hidden in the Seas of light
Glorified be my Lord, the All-Glorious! Glorified by my Lord!

They passed the grades of worldly limitations, reached the unity, the centre of heavenly guidance
Glorified be my Lord, the All-Glorious! Glorified by my Lord!
Glorified be my Lord, the Most High!
