When in Bahá'í history
O thou who art shining with the Kingdom’s Lights!
Verily, I am informed of thine earnest desire for the Kingdom of God, thy sparkling by the love of God and thy longing for the service of the sacred and effulgent Threshold. I pray God to kindle and light the lamp of knowledge in the glass of thy heart, so that it may shine upon all parts of the world and bring thy husband to the life by the Spirit of Life, assist thee to announce the good news by the illuminating Light, and remove the covering of thy sight so that thou mayest see God’s Beauty and His Essential Perfection, His astonishing profusion and His appearance to the hearts and spirits.
