THE PROPHET

A faithful vine at the door of the Lord,

A shining flower in the garden of spirits,

A lute whose strings are of sweet accord,

Such is the person of saintly merits.

Sisters and brothers, behold and strive

Up to the level of his perfection;

Sow, and harrow, and dig, and thrive,

Increase according to God's direction.

This is the Happy Land, no doubt,

Where each may flourish in his vocation.

Brother Bantam will now give out

The hymn of love and of jubilation.
