THEME/S
O Lord, because in an hour of cruel distress I said in the sincerity of my faith: "Thy Will be done", Thou earnest garbed in Thy raiment of glory. At Thy feet I prostrated myself, on Thy breast I found my refuge. Thou hast filled my being with Thy divine light and flooded it with Thy bliss. Thou hast reaffirmed Thy alliance and assured me of Thy constant presence. Thou art the sure friend who never fails, the Power, the Support, the Guide. Thou art the Light which scatters darkness, the Conqueror who assures the victory. Since Thou art there, all has become clear. Agni is rekindled in my fortified heart, and his splendour shines out and sets aglow the atmosphere and purifies it....
My love for Thee, compressed. so long, has leaped forth again, powerful, sovereign, irresistible―increased tenfold by the ordeal it has undergone. It has found strength in its seclusion, the strength to emerge to the surf ace of the being, impose itself as master on the entire consciousness, absorb everything in its overflowing stream....

Thou hast said to me: "I have returned to leave thee no more."
And, my forehead on the soil, I have received Thy promise.
