Has the Language of Accountability Yet Been Developed?

Image

The idea of freedom is born with every generation. Only one generation create the Constitution of the United States of American. Do not be swayed by the well-oiled, smoothly reasoned words of human wisdom. As the Great Paul wrote in First Corinthians, “Virtual words will not get you into the Kingdom of God; only virtuous acts will do that,” reports 1 Corinthians 4.20. Pay attention to what God says. Let its warm your hearts and illumine your mind. It will loosen your conscience and infuse—who knows?—a little consolation. “O taste and see that the LORD is good; how blessed is the human who takes refuge in Him!” reports Psalm 34.8. Many people are missing out on God’s best because they do not realize that the good things in life have already been paid for. They may be on their way to Heaven, but they do not realize what has been included in the price of their quest. God has made more available to people than they can imagine. Never say a word that will make you seem better educated than another. Instead, stive to mortify your verbal vices. Why? Because spiritual progress, though sometimes painful, does you more good than any amount of philosophical knowledge, which often enough can be quite pleasant, or so I have been told. When someone reads from a random pile of books, one often increases one’s learning; but just as often one strays from the One True Principle. At once one must return to the One True Book. Why? God is the One who has given adults what little knowledge they find in their petty encyclopedias; and God is the One who has given the children their pretty abecedaries. “In Whom, because of our faith in Him, we dare to have the boldness (courage and confidence) of free access (an unreserved approach to God with freedom and without fear). So I ask you not to lose heart [not to faint or become despondent through fear] at what I am suffering in your behalf. [Rather glory in it] for it is an honour to you,” reports Ephesians 3.12-13. #RandolphHarris 1 of 18

Whoever hears God’s word will quickly become wise and make much progress in virtue. Woe to those who are out whiling away their time in flea markets and curiosity shoppes when they could be at home strenuously serving the Lord! God has everything we need—joy, forgiveness, restoration, peace, healing—anything we need to live at our full potential. It is all waiting for us by God’s grace. We must remember that we are the children of the Most High God, and He wants to enjoy what He has prepared for us. Just because something did no work out our way or someone disappointed us, that does not change who we are. “May He grant you out of the rich treasury of His glory to be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in the inner man by the [Holy] Spirit [Himself indwelling your innermost being and personality]. May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love, that you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God’s devoted people, the experience of that love] what is he breadth and length and heigh and depth [of it]; [That you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]!” reports Ephesians 3.16-19. #RandolphHarris 2 of 18

Philosophy does not agree with the doctrine that humans can sink into oblivion permanently. If a humans’ fundamental nature, however hidden it be, is essentially immaterial and of the same stuff as divinity, where can one sink back to except to that self-same divinity? The mystery of evil is perhaps the profoundest of all but it cannot be understood through surface views. Evil is closely connected with suffering and the latter in its turn with Universal Laws, which again is itself an expression of the fundamental self. It is all an educative process from which nobody can escape—not even Satan himself were there such a personal devil, which philosophy does not admit, although there are evil spirits, evil beings, and evil humans. All will be saved because when seen from the timeless viewpoint they are already saved. The great mass of humanity are moving in the right direction, despite appearances to he contrary, and they shall enter the kingdom of Heaven one day. Do not doubt that; the guarantee is that they are in their hidden selves already divine. No human is beyond redemption for no human is utterly evil. The problem of evil must be considered in the light of various factors. One of these is standpoint; one human’s evil is another human’s good. Another is Universal Law; the individual has enough latitude to go to the dogs but has to suffer from the consequences of one’s acts. Then there is the question of rebirth. It seems impossible for human beings o be reborn as animals but Nature has made some provision for it. Then the ethical value of suffering must be considered. However, most important of all are the questions of the nature of God, His relation to the Universe and to humanity, and the purpose, if any, which is being worked out. #RandolphHarris 3 of 18

When a human commits an act of violence and destruction against other humans, one is denounced and punished as a criminal. However, when Nature commits such an act and maims or kills a mass of people, God is not denounced. Instead, poet and priest search for some excuse, find some hidden good intention, for God’s reputation for goodness must be saved. If the forces of evolution or laws of nature, as the expression of the World-Mind, have evoked the World-Idea and with it the possibilities of evil, we must unflinchingly accept the logical conclusion. This is that the World-Mind certainly permits the presence of Evil, allows and does not hinger its actuality. Nevertheless, we should always couple with this admission the equal and attendant truth that there is a higher outcome from the working of evil, a nobler purpose in its actuality. Through the operations of the laws of recompense and the pressures of divine evolution it is transmuted into good. Evil has nowhere else to turn in the end expect to turn itself into good! To accept God as the source of this Universe but to reject God as the source of those things contained in the Universe which we dislike, is to deny God. Because we humans dislike evil and suffering, we separate them from God. However, when we do that, we separate ourselves from God. Father, I now realize that I have been existing on little faith, while You have many blessings You want to bestow on me the moment I learn how to have faith for extraordinary things, and the price has already been paid. Thank You, Father, for blessing me today. When these rare glimpses are granted, take from them as they leave all that you can get—all the strength, the wisdom, the support, and the goodwill that they can hold. One has had the glimpse. The after-period is important. For as one returns to one’s ordinary self and to the ordinary persons around one, the opportunity is offered to make an adjustment, adjustment, a fresh start by the light of what the experience revealed. #RandolphHarris 4 of 18

The great experience is soon over; the released insight lasts but a few minutes or hours, but its memory last long. It is a delectable foretaste and warming anticipation of what one’s continued spiritual development may bring to humans. It lifts one far above oneself and out of one’s ordinary state of consciousness, yielding sharper understandings and creating deeper sympathies. One returns from one’s first initiation into the egoless life with a rich cargo. One carries the stability of peace. A strange feeling of safety takes possession of one at that time. One knows neither care for the uncertain future nor regret for the unpleasant past. One knows that henceforth the life of one’s being is in the hands of the higher self, and with this one is quite content. Once one has attained this inner realization, the student should cling persistently to it, for the World’s multifarious forces will come to hear of it and seek to drag one away. “Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]—to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen (so be it),” reports Ephesians 3.20-12. To get up and move too soon after the glimpse has come to an end is to lose some of its Heavenly afterglow. To refrain from any movement, keeping sill and being patient, is to enjoy that glow till its last flickering moments as one may enjoy the last moments of sunset. One’s first need is to immerse oneself in the feeling, to preserve as much as one can of the glimpse. Print every detail of the Glimpse on your mind. It is a useful practice to write down every detail of the experience while it is still fresh in the mind. The record will still be there when the joy is gone. #RandolphHarris 5 of 18

The fragrance of this peace lingers on long after the glimpse itself is over. “His intention was the perfecting and the full equipping of the saints (His consecrated people), [that they should do] the work of ministering toward building up Christ’s body (the church), [That it might develop] until we all attain oneness in the faith and in the comprehension of the [full and accurate] knowledge of the Son of God, that [we might arrive] at really mature manhood (the completeness of personality which is nothing less than the standard height of Christ’s own perfection), the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ and the completeness found in Him. So then, we may no longer be children, tossed [like ships] to and fro between chance gusts of teaching and wavering with every changing wind of doctrine, [the prey of] the cunning and cleverness of unscrupulous humans, [gamblers engaged] in every shifting form of trickery in inventing errors to mislead,” Ephesians 4.12-14. The holy feelings generated by the Glimpse ought to be protected against the World’s disintegrating power and shielded against your own tendency to dissipate them by hasty violent movements or needless irrelevant chatter. Immediately after the glimpse no word should be spoken or it may be lost the more quickly. After such a glimpse there is enchantment in the air. The annoying or disagreeable happenings of the day fail to remove it. When the inspiration derived from the glimpse is upon one, the unexpected and the unpredictable may happen for one’s benefit; but when it is gone, one is no more fortunate than one’s neighbour. The glimpse goes and the habitual daily self returns. The single and simple largeness of the one is lost in the innumerable trivialities of the other. As the glimpse fades away, one takes the ego back into consciousness again. #RandolphHarris 6 of 18

However, the glimpse may not stand alone in its full purity: one may put one’s own ideas into it as an accompaniment without knowing that one has done so. The time will come when the Teacher of teachers, the Christ of christs, the Lord of Angels, will appear; God’s Paul promised that to the Colossians (3.4). Yes, God will, come to audit all the lectures, examine all the students. That is to say, “Jerusalem will be searched by lamp light,” as the Prophet Zephaniah has said (1.12) and “all the errors will spring out of the darkness,” as Paul in First Corinthians has said (4.5). That should quiet the querulous once and for all! Case in point: two humble Devouts. The University takes ten years to educate the first. As for the second, God can raise one’s mind to where one can grapple equally well with the rationalizations and ratiocinations expected of any university graduate—and God can do it in a trice! God’s pedagogy? Well, God is the Logos, and so He does no need a lot of logorrhea to make His points. Philosophers and Theologians like to entertain other opinions; God does not. Academic pride, intellectual arrogance, public disputation whose only aim is to have the upper hand, not that the Truth may appear—all these are nice, but they are certainly not God’s style. His thesis is simply put: Despite this life. Shrink from the present. Seek the next life. Look forward to that happy time. Flee honours. Endure scandals. Hope is in God. Desire nothing but God. Love God ardently above all things. About the last, loving God ardently. If you do this, you will learn what the University has promised but failed to deliver; that is to say, the secrecies and prophecies of the Divine. That is to say, you make more spiritual progress when you leave the public disputation before it is over than when you linger to make yet another distinctio rationis ratiocnatae minor. #RandolphHarris 7 of 18

Sometimes God lectures in halls; sometimes God tutors in rooms. Occasionally God makes a personal impression by a miracle or a verbal expression by a metaphour. Once in a while God even takes the drape off a mystery. A book has once voice, but its many and varied readers do not necessarily come away from it with the same message. In the University Within, however, God’s is the only voice, and One is the only message. God is Lecturer, Examiner Invigilator. God interprets all thoughts, prompts all actions. All of which is another way of saying, and perhaps another way of rendering a passage in Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians (12.11), He marks each examination with alpha, beta, or gamma, enhanced or diminished by pluses or minuses. Wow to the Alphas! Woe to the Gammas! A relationship that is never taken into account, although it always ought to be reckoned the chief concern is that of utility each person derives from the social confederation which provides powerful protection for the immense possession of the rich and hardly allows a poor wretch to enjoy the cottage one built with one’s own hands. Are not the advantages of society for the powerful and the rich? Are not all the lucrative posts filled by them alone? Are not all the privileges and exemptions reserved for them alone? And is not the public authority entirely in their favour? When a human of high standing steals from one’s creditors or commits other acts of knavery, is one not always certain of impunity? Are not the assaults, the acts of violence one commits, even the murders and assassination one is guilty of, are not these things hushed up and after six months not given a thought? If this is same human were robbed, the entire police force is immediately put in motion, and woe to the innocent persons one suspects. #RandolphHarris 8 of 18

Does one have to pass through a dangerous area? One has escourts in rural areas. Is the axle of one’s chaise about to break? Everyone flies to one’s assistance. Is there a noisy disturbance outside one’s door? One says one word and everyone is silent. Does a crowd aggravate one? One makes a gesture and everyone steps aside from one. And better that fifty honest pedestrians going about their business should be crushed than that some lazy scoundrel’s coach should be delayed. All this respect costs one not a penny; it is the right of a rich human, not the price of riches. How different a picture is to be painted of the poor man! The more humanity owes one, the more society refuses one. All doors are closed to one, even when one has a right to open them. And if sometimes one obtains justice, it is with greater difficulty than the rich human would have obtaining a pardon. If there is an unpleasant job to do or troops to be raised, one is given preference. Besides one’s own burden, one always bears the one from which one’s more wealthy neighbour has the influence to get oneself exempted. At the least accident that happens to one, everyone avoids one. If one’s humble cart tips over, far from being helped by anyone, I count one lucky if one avoids the insults of the smart-aleck servants of some young duke who is passing by. In short, any free assistance escapes one when one needs it, precisely because one has nothing which to pay for it. However, if one has the misfortune of having and honest soul, a beautiful daughter, and a powerful neighbour, I take one for a lost human. Another no less important point to make is that the losses of poor humans are much more difficult to recoup than those of the rich, and that the difficulty of acquiring always grows in proportion to need. Nothing comes from nothing: it is just as true in business as it is in physics. #RandolphHarris 9 of 18

Money breeds money, and the first pistole is sometimes harder to earn than the second million. However, there is still more. Everything the poor human pays for is forever lost to one, and remains in or returns to the hands of the rich. And since the proceeds of the taxes sooner or later pass only to those humans who take part in the government or who are closely connected with it, they have, even in paying their hare, a clear interest in increasing taxes. The social part of the two estates: You need me, for I am rich and you are poor. Let us come to an agreement between ourselves. I will permit you to have the honour of serving me, provided you give me what little you have for the trouble I will be taking to command you. If all these things are carefully combined, we will find that in order to levy taxes in an equitable and truly proportionate way, the imposition should not be made merely in proportion to the goods belonging to the contributors, but in a proportion consisting in the differences of their conditions and of the superfluity of their goods. This terribly important and difficult operation is accomplished everyday by multitudes of honest clerks who know their arithmetic; but a Plato or a Montesquieu would not have dared to undertake such a task without trembling and imploring Heaven for enlightenment and integrity. Another disadvantage of the personal tax is that it makes itself felt too much and s levied with too much severity. This does not prevent its being subject to many instances of nonpayment, since it is much easier to hide one’s head than one’s possessions from the tax rolls and prosecution. #RandolphHarris 10 of 18

Of all other kinds of tax assessments, the land tax or real tax has always passed for the most advantageous in countries where more thought is given to both the quantity of the proceeds and the certainty of recovering the funds, than to causing the least annoyance to the people. Some people have even dared to say that the peasant must be burdened in order to rouse one from one’s idleness, and that one would do nothing if one did not have to pay anything. However, among all the peoples of the World experience contradicts this ridiculous maxim. It is in Holland and England, where the farmer pays very little, and above all in China, where one pays nothing, that the land is best cultivated. On the other hand, wherever the worker finds oneself taxed in proportion to the product of one’s fields, one lets them lie fallow or else reaps just as much from them as one needs in order to live. For to one who loses the fruit of one’s labours gaining means of doing nothing. Imposing a fine on work is a rather unusual method of abolishing idleness. Taxes on land or on grain, especially when they are excessive, result in two disadvantages that are so terrible that they cannot in the long run avoid depopulating and ruining every country where they are established. The first comes from the lack of circulation of currency, for commerce and industry draw all the money from the rural areas into the capitols; and because the tax destroys the proportion that might still obtain between the needs of farmers and the price of one’s grain, money constantly leaves and never returns. The richer the city, the more miserable the rural areas. The proceeds from the tax pass from the hands of the prince of the financier into those of artists and merchants. #RandolphHarris 11 of 18

And for the farmer, who never receives anything more than the smallest part of the proceedings, is eventually exhausted by always paying the same amount and always receiving less. How can a human live if one had veins and no arteries, or if the arteries carried blood only to within four inches of one’s heart? Chardin says that in Persia the king’s duties on commodities are also paid in commodities. This custom, which, Herodotus tells us, was practiced previously in the same country until the time of Darius, could prevent the evil of which I have been speaking. However, unless the intendents, directors, commissioners and where else, I am hard pressed to believe that the smallest part of all these products reaches the king, that grain does not in the granaries, and that fire does not consume the greater part of the warehouses. The second disadvantage comes form an apparent advantage, which lets the problems become aggravated before they are noticed: namely that grain remains cheap, and the farmer is the only one to bear the burden of the tax, which one has been unable to recoup in one’s selling price. It must be noted that one should not reason about a real tax the way one would about duties on all merchandise which in turn raise the price on all these goods and which are paid not so much by the sellers as by the buyers. For these duties on all merchandise which in urn raise the price on all these goods and which are paid not so much by the sellers as by the buyers. For these duties, however heavy they may be, are still voluntary and are paid by the seller only in proportion to one’s sales, one applies the law to private individuals. However, the farmer, who is required to pay, whether one sells or not, at a fixed rate for the land one cultivates, is not in a position to wait until one gets the price one wants for one’s produce. And even if one were not to sell it to support oneself, one would be forced to sell it to be able to pay the tax, so that sometimes it is the enormity of the assessment that keeps the produce at a low price. #RandolphHarris 12 of 18

The multipurpose corporation that has emerged demands, among other things, smarter executives. It implies a management capable of specifying multiple goals, weighting them, interrelating them, and finding synergetic policies that accomplish more than a single goal at a time. It requires policies that optimize not for one, but for several variables simultaneously. Nothing could be further from the single-minded styles of the traditional Second Wave manager. Moreover, once the need for multiple goals is accepted we are compelled to invent new measures of performance. Instead of the single “bottom line” on which most executives have been taught to fixate, the Third Wave corporation requires attention to multiple bottom lines—social, environmental, informational, political, and ethical bottom lines—all of them interconnected. Faced with this new complexity, many of today’s managers are taken aback. They lack the intellectual tools necessary for Third Wave management. We know how to measure the profitability of a corporation, but how do we measure or evaluate the achievement of non-economic goals? Managers are being asked to account for corporate behaviour in areas where no real standards of accountability have been established—where even the language of accountability has yet to be developed. This explains today’s efforts to develop a new language of accountability. Indeed, accounting itself is on the edge of revolution and is about to explode out of is narrowly economic terms of reference. The American Accounting Association, for example, has issued reports of a “Committee on Non-Financial Measures of Effectiveness” and of a “Committee on Measures of Effectiveness for Social Programs.” So much work is being done along these lines that each of these reports lists nearly 250 papers, monographs, and documents in its bibliography. #RandolphHarris 13 of 18

Many companies are working with consulting firms to develop methods for specifying what might be called the “trans-economic” goals of the corporation. The objective is to integrate these goals into corporate planning and to find ways of measuring the company’s trans-economic performance. In Washington, it has been suggested that the government itself should prepare a “Social Performance Index,” which would be a mechanism companies could use to assess their performance and its social consequences. Many large and medium-sized companies in Europe have been experimenting with [the social report] concept. In the Federal Republic of Germany, for example, about 20 of the larges firms now publish social reports regularly. In addition, more than a hundred others draw up social reports for internal management purposes. Some of these reports are no more than puff—accounts of the corporation’s “good works,” carefully overlooking controversial problems like pollution. However, others are remarkably open, objective, and tough. Thus a social report issued by the giant Swiss food firm, Migros-Genossenschafts-Bund self-critically confess that it pays women less than men, that many of its jobs are “extremely boring,” and that its nitrous dioxide emissions have risen over a four-years period. Says the company’s managing director, Pierre Arnold, “It takes courage for an enterprise to point out the differences between its goals and its actual results.” Companies like STEAG and the Saarbergwerke AG have pioneered the effort to relate company expenditures to specific social benefits. Less formally, companies like Bertelsmann AG, the publisher; Rank Xerox GmbH, the copier firm; and Hoechst AG, the chemical manufacturer, have radically broadened the kind of social data they make available to the public. #RandolphHarris 14 of 18

A much more advanced system is employed by companies in Sweden and Switzerland and by Deutsche Shell AG in Germany. The latter, instead of publishing an annual report, now issues what it calls an Annual and Social Report in which both economic and trans-economic data are interrelated. The method used by Shell, termed “goal accounting and reporting” by Dierkes and Coppock, stipulates concrete economic, environmental, and social goals for the corporation, spells out the actions taken to achieve them, and reports the expenditures allocated to them. Shell also lists five overall corporate goals—only one of which is to achieve a “reasonable return on investment”—and specifically “carry the same weight” in corporate decision-making. The goal accounting methods force companies to make their trans-economic objectives explicit, to specify time periods for their attainment, and to open this up to public review. On a broader theoretical level, Trevor Gambling, professor of accounting at the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom, in a book called Societal Accounting has called for a radical reformulation of accounting that begins to integrate the work of economists and accountants with that of the social scientists who have developed social indictors and methods of social accounting. In Holland the Dean of the Graduate School of Management in Delft, Cornelius Brevoord, had designed a set of multidimensional criteria for monitoring corporate behaviour. This is made necessary, he suggests, by deep value changes in the society, among them the change from “an economic production orientation” in society to “a total well-being orientation.” Similarly, he notes a shift from “functional specialization to an interdisciplinary approach.” Both these changes strengthen the need for a more rounded concept of the corporation. #RandolphHarris 15 of 18

Brevoord lists 32 different criteria by which a corporation must measure its effectiveness. These range over its relationships with consumers, shareholders, and unions to those with ecology organizations and its own management. However, he points out, even these 32 are only “a few” of the parameters along which the emerging corporation of the future will test itself. With the Second Wave economic infrastructure in a shambles, with change accelerating as de-massification spreads, with the biosphere sending danger signals, with the level of organization in society rising, and the informational, political, and ethical conditions of production changing, the Second Wave corporations is obsolete. What is happening, therefore, is a thoroughgoing reconceptualization of the meaning of production and of the institution that, until now, has been charged with organizing it. The result is a complex shift to a new-style corporation of tomorrow. In the words of William Halal, professor of management at American University, “Just as the feudal manor was replaced by the business corporation when agrarian societies were transformed into industrial societies, so too should the older model of the firm be replaced by a new form of economic institution.” This new institution will combine economic and trans-economic objectives. It will have multiple bottom lines. The transformation of the corporation is part of the larger transformation of the socio-sphere as a whole, and this in turn parallels the dramatic changes in the techno-sphere and info-sphere. Taken together, they add up to a massive historical shift. However, we are not merely altering these giant structures. We are also changing the way ordinary people, in their daily lives, behave. For when we change the deep structure of civilization, we simultaneously rewrite all the codes by which we live. #RandolphHarris 16 of 18

Important changes have developed in the nerve-structure and brain-formations of the human species. Body purification and strengthening are prerequisites and preparations for spiritual awakening and development. They allow the soul to awaken. The artist, the thinker, or the mystic must not neglect the muscular vigour and health of body that can be obtained through prayer and exercise. This would include deep breathing, stretching exercises, and a diet of light and easily digested foods which will not dull inspiration. Philosophical training puts must value on the quality of mental calmness, emotional composure, and on its reflected state in the body—physical stillness. The more a person’s mind is self-composed, the more will one’s whole personality be self-possessed. The passions of hatred, greed, lust, and anger cannot then bling one to the truth about one’s human situation or about the World’s nature.  “In their spiritual apathy they have become callous and past feeling and reckless and have abandoned themselves [a prey] to unbridled sensuality, eager and greedy to indulge in every form of impurity [that their depraved desires may suggest and demand],” reports Ephesians 4. 19. Be grateful for all the things you do not need to know about life on this Earth. Consider yourself, though you are still alive and kicking, not part of the World. As far as you are concerned, as Galatians would put it (6.14), you are already hanging on the cross. Yes, you have to pass through many noisy patches as though you were deaf, and yes, you should open your ears to the things that bring you spiritual peace. Sometimes it is better not to meet the gaze of a troubled soul. One wants to talk, yes, but does one want to listen? #RandolphHarris 17 of 18

If you do stop to talk and the phlegm begins to fly, you are not the less pleasing to God. That is to say, if you are worsted in a hostile exchange and could have come to blows but did not, then at least your worsted’s still intact, and so is your virtue. O Lord, how long it has taken us to travel such a short distance! Look how a temporal loss sets the eyes to weeping! Even for a modest profit, we have to labour and lumber. As for a spiritual loss, it is scarcely noticed, let alone repented or retrieved. Beseeching the breath of the divine one, His life-giving breath, Hs breath of old age, His breath of waters, His breath of seeds, His breath of riches, His breath of fecundity, His breath of power, Hs breath of all good fortune, asking for His breath, and into my warm soul drawing in His grace, I add to Your grace that happily you may always live. O pity America’s host, I pray to Thee; forgive them, pardon their iniquity. O God of our salvation, save Thou us! As slaves, with eyes beseeching, seek their Lord, we came before Thee stricken, and implored: O God of our salvation, save Thou us! Triumphant Lord of lords, to Thee we pray; strife like a whirlwind scattered us, and we Thy sons lay crushed beneath the tyrant’s sway. O God of our salvation, save Thou us! Behold! with supplication how we throng—O Lord of grace and mercy,–unto Thee; Thy wondrous deeds, our never-ceasing song. O God of our salvation, save Thou us! “Flowing with milk and honey”: this Thy land spare Thou from drought. O stay her tears of woe; bind up her torrents with Thy healing hand. O God of our salvation, save Thou us! Plant us, we pray, upon a fruitful sod; send as old defenders from the foe, Thou just and righteous One! Thou faithful God! O God of our salvation, save Thou us! Recall Thy covenant with the Earth of yore, Thy sign, that while the Earth doth yet abide, Thine anger break and rend it never more. O God of our salvation, save Thou us! #RandolphHarris 18 of 18
