Chapter 91

1. Let us bend our knees and raise our hands before our good Father and honour the mighty Messenger, for he has revealed everything, he has taught us everything, he has spread them all before us; he has given us knowledge of the Beginning, he has taught us the mysteries of the Middle, together with the Final separating and the destruction of the universes which were prepared for the bodies and the Spirit.

2. Our Father, through our Messenger, has not let us lack any of them; so long as he was in our midst he gave us a hand, helping us greatly; even on the very day of his departure, he left his goods for the orphans and the widows.

3. Crowds have witnessed of him, all the other Messengers have spoken of him, the Prophets have preached about him; his fame is spread abroad in all the world, his principle is in all the religions.

4. O Divine Messenger, truly you who are the Divine Leader of souls, we bless you, the adored of Souls granting vision and commandment.

5. Blessed, blessed are you, you good instructing Law-giver! Through you, we travel together by means of the blessed vision of words of prayer.

6. You, our Teacher, are the Root of all the wisdoms; through the Will of the Highest Father Jehovih, O beloved One, you have spread out over us this mighty gift of your Knowledge, you have preached to all of us your Wisdom, you have taught us what used to be, what are, and what shall be; you have brought healing balm to us, to rescue and heal us from the disease of the Darkness.

7. All the mysteries have been fulfilled in you, our Teacher, and now, all of your Assemblies are fulfilling your mystery; we, today, give our rose like these fruitful trees, that it may become for us a garland and you may place it upon us.

8. O mighty Power, Wisdom full of Life, first-born great Commander! Master of our life, who out of pity did assume a physical appearance manifesting before us the visible Sign, Perfect Living Word, clothe us in the Robe of Light!

9. O glorious Messenger, great Teacher and Law-giver, you are entire Absolution, the Preaching of Life, the Messenger of those on high! The Three Wheels glorify you, the Wind, and the Water, and the Fire, which daily ascend from the Abyss.

10. The Love that died is this Sheep that was chained to the Tree; the Shepherd searching after it is the revealing Wisdom; you do not weary, O Wisdom, you do not give in, O Love!

11. We bless the Divine Messenger*, the Author of our good, the Spirit of Truth, who is come out of the Father, an advocate whom Joshu has sent, the great Conqueror, our Teacher, our Light, who has given his loved ones the victory!
* (The original text refers to Mani; in the United Covenant, we honour all the Divine Messengers, with Joshu being seen as the Highest of all Law-givers.)

12. You have come in peace, O new Sun of the Souls; we trust in your mercy, for you quickly turn and show pity! You shine, O cheerful Image, in the likeness of the sun, you who are the Leader of the Truth of the same form* as Jehovih!
* (in spirit and in truth)

13. You have spoken out all the mysteries to us, O Giver of the streams of all revelations, and we give you thanks, our Teacher, with a great number of thanksgivings and praises because you have spoken to us about everything, both frankly and in a plain language so that we may understand the Truth which you brought to us.

14. You have given us great jars of water from the everliving fountain of Knowledge, so that we may share it with those thirsty ones who listen to us.

15. This is the only gift we have to satisfy you with, that we confirm ourselves in your Faith and abide in your Commands* and agree in your Word which you have spoken to us.
