"O GOD our Lord! Protect us through Thy grace from ..."

1 |
O GOD our Lord! Protect us through Thy grace from
whatsoever may be repugnant unto Thee and vouchsafe
unto us that which well beseemeth Thee. Give us more out
of Thy bounty and bless us. Pardon us for the things we
have done and wash away our sins and forgive us with Thy
gracious forgiveness. Verily Thou art the Most Exalted, the
Self-Subsisting.

Thy loving providence hath encompassed all created
things in the heavens and on the earth, and Thy forgiveness
hath surpassed the whole creation. Thine is sovereignty; in
Thy hand are the Kingdoms of Creation and Revelation;
in Thy right hand Thou holdest all created things and
within Thy grasp are the assigned measures of forgiveness.
Thou forgivest whomsoever among Thy servants Thou
pleasest. Verily Thou art the Ever-Forgiving, the All-Loving.
Nothing whatsoever escapeth Thy knowledge, and
naught is there which is hidden from Thee.

O God our Lord! Protect us through the potency of Thy
might, enable us to enter Thy wondrous surging ocean,
and grant us that which well befitteth Thee.

Thou art the Sovereign Ruler, the Mighty Doer, the
Exalted, the All-loving.
