LONDON (BHAKTIVEDANTA MANOR)
In the desert of material life
Doomed forever to remain
Our shriveled hearts lay parched within
Without your mercy rain.
Doomed forever to remain
Our shriveled hearts lay parched within
Without your mercy rain.
But then throughout these desiccated depths
That clement shower did fall
Inundating everything
Revitalizing all.
That clement shower did fall
Inundating everything
Revitalizing all.
Gasping souls were given life
Their miseries washed abroad
Sinful aspirations all but drowned
In that redeeming flood.
Their miseries washed abroad
Sinful aspirations all but drowned
In that redeeming flood.
Being recipients of that rain we caught
Some drops fresh like dew
And pray they cleanse these envious hearts
So that we may glorify you.

Impossible the task to describe
A heart that has no measure
Mere words alone cannot contain
That supreme spiritual treasure.

At once majestic and unproud
Regal bearing without flaw
With gentleness you guide all common men
True champion of the poor.

God's greatest glory divine love
Incarnate in your form
Your benign grace this earth pervades
But was in heaven born.

And in that purest holy mind
No selfish though would keep
You would only think of suffering man
And thinking of him, weep.

And thinking of him, weep.
To mitigate the miseries of mankind
You worked both day and night
You kindled the fire to light the world
And gave blind men their sight.

With mankind's future tenderly cradled
In your loving hands
Your teachings show the way back home
To people of all lands.
In your loving hands
Your teachings show the way back home
To people of all lands.
Your books a sense of wonder leave
A revolution they have begun
A monument to Your Divine Grace
For all times to come.
A revolution they have begun
A monument to Your Divine Grace
For all times to come.
And in those distant far-off days
Your glories shall endure
In the annals of history indelibly inscribed
To remain for evermore.
Your glories shall endure
In the annals of history indelibly inscribed
To remain for evermore.
And the historians of eternity will tell and retell
Of your great mercy-errand to deliver souls from hell
And the pious people of that future generation
Will listen with wonder and great veneration.
Of your great mercy-errand to deliver souls from hell
And the pious people of that future generation
Will listen with wonder and great veneration.
And throughout the ages just as now
They'll receive your matchless gift
Your immortal words the chance to serve
The greatest man who lived.
They'll receive your matchless gift
Your immortal words the chance to serve
The greatest man who lived.
Impossible for us to appreciate
The sacrifice you have made
We'll lay our lives at your feet
But you'll never be repaid.
The sacrifice you have made
We'll lay our lives at your feet
But you'll never be repaid.
O Prabhupada, give us the heart
To carry on your mission
Your mercy is all that gives us life
Your perfect task, our vision.

Your mercy is all that gives us life

Our fervent prayers, O lord, to you
Though trials we may meet
Allow us forever to remain
Serving your lotus feet.
