God’s Throne — XXIX

Unto your Fathers, Allah did make known
This which they handed down and made your own,—
    That all who pray My Face may clearly see,
I sit exalted high on Heaven’s great Throne.
    As I in Heaven, so you I place on Earth,
That I in my Vicegerents, may be shown.
    Serve Me then, that the World may serve you too
Made to do good—this is your End alone.
    The World was fitly made to help you well:
No Traitors be; let all my Justice own.
    And glorify the Maker of the World,
Until the Rose of Peace hath round you blown.
