The Gospel of Peace – Lamentation
Wash me, O Lord, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Make me to hear joy and gladness;
Hide thy face from my sins,
And blot out all mine iniquities.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, The Eternal Almighty One!
And renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from thy presence;
And take not thy holy spirit from me.
Restore unto me the joy of thy Infinite Garden,
And uphold me with thy Holy Angels.
Let me drive away all evil things
And all uncleanness,
From the fire, the water,
The earth, the trees,
From the faithful man and the faithful woman,
From the stars, the moon, the sun,
From the boundless Light,
And from all good things,
Made by thee, O Heavenly Father, Yehowah,
Whose offspring is the Holy Law.
By the rivers of Babylon,
There we sat down, yea, we wept,
When we remembered Zion.
We hanged our harps upon the willows.
How shall we sing the Lord's song in a
wicked land?
If I forget thee, O Jerusalem,
Let my right hand forget her cunning.
If I do not remember thee,
Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth;
For Babylon is the slavery in the world,
And Zion is the freedom in the Brotherhood.
O Lord, to thee will I cry!
For the fire hath devoured the pastures
of the wilderness,
And the flame hath burned All the
trees of the field.
The beasts of the field cry also unto thee:
For the rivers Of waters are dried up,
And the fire hath devoured
Your pastures of the wilderness.
Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble:
For the day of the Lord cometh,
For it is nigh at hand;
A day of darkness and gloominess,
A day of clouds and of thick darkness,
A day when the earth shall quake,
And the heavens shall tremble.
The sun and the moon shall be dark,
And the stars shall withdraw their shining.
Out of the depths will we cry unto thee,
O Lord!
Lord, hear thou our voices!
End of Lamentation
In peace,wisdom and love,
