CXXXVII: "Glorified art Thou, O my God! I yield Thee thanks..."
| |
1 |
Glorified art Thou, O my God! I yield Thee thanks that Thou hast made known unto me Him Who is
the Day-Spring of Thy mercy, and the Dawning-Place
of Thy grace, and the Repository of Thy Cause.
I beseech Thee by Thy Name, through which the faces
of them that are nigh unto Thee have turned white,
and the hearts of such as are devoted to Thee have
winged their flight towards Thee, to grant that I may,
at all times and under all conditions, lay hold on Thy
cord, and be rid of all attachment to any one except
Thee, and may keep mine eyes directed towards the
horizon of Thy Revelation, and may carry out what
Thou hast prescribed unto me in Thy Tablets.

Attire, O my Lord, both my inner and outer being
with the raiment of Thy favors and Thy loving-kindness.
Keep me safe, then, from whatsoever may
be abhorrent unto Thee, and graciously assist me and
my kindred to obey Thee, and to shun whatsoever
may stir up any evil or corrupt desire within me.

Thou, truly, art the Lord of all mankind, and the
Possessor of this world and of the next. No God is
there save Thee, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.
