A v Harahmin

By CHARLES LUKACS

LORD of the Universe
Ruler of Heaven and earth
Who sits on a throne
of lapis lazuli and gold
Your name is Almighty King or Shadoi!
Who made the scent of the flower
and the mould of the grave
the smile of the child
and the eye, of the executioner .. .
With tormented heart, we must say
we do not understand Your way .
But we pray and ask Your Grace
when you see those people
coming through Your gate
in the endless line, who died
to sanctify Your Name.
OH Mighty Lord!
Do not let them pass by
in the eternal night!
Stretch out Your arm
and touch them, with the rod
of your life giving hand
that they may live again!
in the light of Your Face
shelter them, in the tent of Your wings
where no evil can ever`reach
And grant them never endin Peace, Amen.
