we prayed now as joseph led us : `` 'a great light will shine to all the ends of the earth , and many nations will come to you from afar , the peoples of all the earth , to dwell near to the name of the lord , bearing in their hands gifts for the king of heaven ... ' `` i saw the light in my mind , and i grew sleepy in a beautiful soft sleep in which i could hear the words of the prayer as i lay on my mat , with my arm crooked under my head. ``
