Secret of Happiness

I ate no pleasant bread, flesh, wine 

Three weeks passed until I stood by

The Great River to lift mine eyes

I beheld a man in linen

Gold girth loins and beryl body

Countenance so bright like lightening

Polished brass sheaths his arms and feet

Fire lamps for eyes, then I heard

Words beheld voice of multitudes

I, me, alone saw a vision

Men with me did not see but fled

As great quaking fell upon them

I was left alone and helpless

My comeliness turns to weakness

Yet I heard the voice of his words

I fell face down in a deep sleep

Behold a touch of hand lifts me

Humble on my knees and palms hear

O Daniel, greatly beloved Man

I speak to you and stand upright

For unto ye am I now sent

I stood trembling heard his words

Then he said unto me, fear not

Chasten thyself before thy God

I come to make ye understand

What is to befall thy people

Mine eyes cast down and I was dumb

Similitude of the Sons of Man

Touched my lips  and my mouth opened

O my Lord, sight turns my sorrows 

No strength, no breath remains in me

The man of beryl came again

A touch strengthened me, in silence

My sight on beryl fire heard

O Daniel beloved, fear not: 

Be at peace; be strong; Yea, be strong! 

Know wherefore I did come to you

Now I will return to the fight

When I am gone forth woe will come

I will show you Scripture of Truth

Believe you me, none can best me

But your prince Michael Archangel

I, me, alone in silence still

Knowledge surpassed mind, my soul learned 

Need only ask to heal your soul 

Joyous every moment of life 

Each breath wondrous gift of hope 

All your beloved hearts with you 

Their prayers pass with you through ordeals
