Abdu’l-Baha is thought to have said, «Make me a hollow reed from which the pith |
of self |
Hath been blown so that I may become a clear channel through which Thy love may |
flow to others». |
The rest of the «prayer"is a poem written by George Thompson and published in the Star of the West. --Kent] |
Make me as a hollow reed, that I may play and plant Thy seed. |
Rascal’s closet may be lit, and have a needy rhyme in it. |
Make me as a flute of stone that when I play Thy wind is blown. |
Rascal’s hideaway might chill, and die away from sill to sill. |
Hollow reed, hollow reed, hollow reed, hollow reed. |
Make me as a hollow reed that I may sing your grace, my steed. |
Rascal’s secret will be seen in it’s decay and sickening green. |
Make me as a proof in turn, I will prove to them that yearn. |
Rascal’s lie is manifest and never could survive your test. |
Hollow reed, hollow reed, hollow reed, hollow reed. |
Make me as a hollow reed so I may give them what they need. |
Rascal’s reign will come to end and monarch’s eyes will shine again. |
Make me strong for I am weak, give me words and I will speak |
. |
Rascal’s cheeks will burn in shame when all of us know Your Name. |
Hollow reed, hollow reed, hollow reed, hollow reed. |
Hollow reed, hollow reed, hollow reed, hollow reed. |
