In the rose garden of changeless splendour Flower has begun to bloom Compared to which every other flower is but a thorn Before the brightness of whose glory / the very essence of beauty The very essence of beauty must pale and wither Arise therefore and with the whole enthusiasm of your hearts With all the eagerness of your soul/ the full favour of your will And the concentrated efforts of your entire being x 2 Strive to attain the paradise of His presence And endeavour to inhale the fragrance of /the incorruptible flower To breathe the sweet savour of .......His holiness And to attain a portion of the perfume of ....celestial glory Whoso followers this counsel / shall break his chains asunder And will taste the abandonment / of enraptured love Will attain unto his hearts desire / and will surrender his soul Into the hands of his Beloved Bursting through his cage he will.....even as the bird of the spirit Wing his flight into his holy and everlasting nest x2 V1 repeat

3.	Fewness of Numbers 02:36	lyrics	buy track
Look not on the fewness of thy numbers Rather seek out hearts that are pure One consecrated soul is preferable To a thousand other souls If a small number of people gather lovingly together With absolute purity and sanctity With their hearts free of the world experiencing The emanations of the Kingdom And the powerful forces of the divine Being at one in their happy fellowship That gathering will exert It's influence on all the earth The nature of that band of people The words they speak the deeds they do Will unleash the bestowals of heaven And provide a foretaste of ...eternal bliss The hosts of the company on high will defend them And the angels of the Abha Paradise In continuous succession Will come down to their aid x 4
