LXXXVI: "Glorified art Thou, O Lord my God! I yield Thee..."
| |
1 |
Glorified art Thou, O Lord my God! I yield Thee thanks for that Thou hast made me the target of
divers tribulations and the mark of manifold trials,
in order that Thy servants may be endued with new
life and all Thy creatures may be quickened.
| |
2 |
I swear by Thy glory, O Thou the Best Beloved of
the worlds and the Desire of all such as have recognized
Thee! The one reason I wish to live is that I
may reveal Thy Cause, and I seek the continuance
of life only that I may be touched by adversity in
Thy path.
| |
3 |
I implore Thee, O Thou by Whose summons the
hearts of all them who were nigh unto Thee have
soared into the atmosphere of Thy presence, to send
down upon Thy loved ones what will enable them
to dispense with all else except Thee. Endue them,
then, with such constancy that they will arise to
proclaim Thy Cause, and will call on Thy name,
before all that are in Thy heaven and on Thy earth,
in such wise that the Pharaonic cruelties inflicted by
the oppressors among Thy servants will not succeed
in keeping them back from Thee.

4 |
Thou art, verily, the God of power, the God of
glory, the God of strength and wisdom.
