Mariner 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 be my Lord, the All-Glorious!

Glorified be my Lord, the All-Glorious!

Glorified by my Lord!

Glorified be my Lord, the All-Glorious!

Glorified be my Lord, the Most High!
