L: "Glory be to Thee, O my God! Thou hearest Thine..."

Glory be to Thee, O my God! Thou hearest Thine ardent lovers lamenting in their separation from
Thee, and such as have recognized Thee wailing because
of their remoteness from Thy presence. Open
Thou outwardly to their faces, O my Lord, the gates
of Thy grace, that they may enter them by Thy
leave and in conformity with Thy will, and may
stand before the throne of Thy majesty, and catch
the accents of Thy voice, and be illumined with the
splendors of the light of Thy face.

Potent art Thou to do what pleaseth Thee. None
can withstand the power of Thy sovereign might.
From everlasting Thou wert alone, with none to
equal Thee, and wilt unto everlasting remain far
above all thought and every description of Thee.
Have mercy, then, upon Thy servants by Thy grace
and bounty, and suffer them not to be kept back
from the shores of the ocean of Thy nearness. If
Thou abandonest them, who is there to befriend
them; and if Thou puttest them far from Thee, who
is he that can favor them? They have none other
Lord beside Thee, none to adore except Thyself. Deal
Thou generously with them by Thy bountiful grace.

Thou, in truth, art the Ever-Forgiving, the Most
Compassionate.
