XII: "Praised be Thou, O Lord my God! This is Thy..."

1 |
Praised be Thou, O Lord my God! This is Thy servant who hath quaffed from the hands of Thy
grace the wine of Thy tender mercy, and tasted of
the savor of Thy love in Thy days. I beseech Thee,
by the embodiments of Thy names whom no grief
can hinder from rejoicing in Thy love or from gazing
on Thy face, and whom all the hosts of the heedless
are powerless to cause to turn aside from the path of
Thy pleasure, to supply him with the good things
Thou dost possess, and to raise him up to such heights
that he will regard the world even as a shadow that
vanisheth swifter than the twinkling of an eye.

Keep him safe also, O my God, by the power of
Thine immeasurable majesty, from all that Thou abhorrest.
Thou art, verily, his Lord and the Lord of all
worlds.
