XLII: "Lauded be Thy name, O my God and the God of..."
| |
1 |
Lauded be Thy name, O my God and the God of all things, my Glory and the Glory of all things, my
Desire and the Desire of all things, my Strength and
the Strength of all things, my King and the King of
all things, my Possessor and the Possessor of all things,
my Aim and the Aim of all things, my Mover and
the Mover of all things! Suffer me not, I implore
Thee, to be kept back from the ocean of Thy tender
mercies, nor to be far removed from the shores of
nearness to Thee.

2 |
Aught else except Thee, O my Lord, profiteth me
not, and near access to any one save Thyself availeth
me nothing. I entreat Thee by the plenteousness of
Thy riches, whereby Thou didst dispense with all else
except Thyself, to number me with such as have
set their faces towards Thee, and arisen to serve Thee.

3 |
Forgive, then, O my Lord, Thy servants and Thy
handmaidens. Thou, truly, art the Ever-Forgiving,
the Most Compassionate.
