A PRAYER FOR FREEDOM

[Katha Vivekananda Kendra]

Bethink thee how the world did wait,
And search for thee, through time and clime.
Some gave up home and love of friends,
And went in quest of thee self-banished,
O'er dreary oceans, through primeval forests
Each step a struggle for the life or death.
Then came the day when work bore fruit
And worship, love and sacrifice
Fulfilled, accepted and complete.
Then Thou, propitious, rose to shed
The light of freedom on mankind.
Move on. Oh Lord, in thy resistless path
Till thy high morn overspreads the world.
Till every land reflects thy light,
Till men and women, with uplifted head,
Behold their shackles broken, and
Know, in springing joy, their life renewed!

-Sister Nivedia
