VII: "Praise be to Thee, O Lord my God! I beseech Thee..."
| |
1 |
Praise be to Thee, O Lord my God! I beseech Thee by this Revelation whereby darkness hath been turned
into light, through which the Frequented Fane hath
been built, and the Written Tablet revealed, and the
Outspread Roll uncovered, to send down upon me
and upon them who are in my company that which
will enable us to soar into the heavens of Thy transcendent
glory, and will wash us from the stain of
such doubts as have hindered the suspicious from entering
into the tabernacle of Thy unity.

I am the one, O my Lord, who hath held fast the
cord of Thy loving-kindness, and clung to the hem
of Thy mercy and favors. Do Thou ordain for me
and for my loved ones the good of this world and
of the world to come. Supply them, then, with the
Hidden Gift Thou didst ordain for the choicest
among Thy creatures.

These are, O my Lord, the days in which Thou
hast bidden Thy servants to observe the fast. Blessed
is he that observeth the fast wholly for Thy sake and
with absolute detachment from all things except
Thee. Assist me and assist them, O my Lord, to obey
Thee and to keep Thy precepts. Thou, verily, hast
power to do what Thou choosest.

There is no God but Thee, the All-Knowing, the
All-Wise. All praise be to God, the Lord of all worlds.
