"My God, my Adored One, my King, my desire!..." |
|
1 | My God, my Adored One, my King, my desire! What tongue can voice my thanks to Thee? I was heedless, Thou didst awaken me. I had turned back from Thee, Thou didst graciously aid me to turn towards Thee. I was as one dead, Thou didst quicken me with the water of life. I was withered, Thou didst revive me with the heavenly stream of Thine utterance which hath flowed forth from the Pen of the All-Merciful. |

O Divine Providence! All existence is begotten
by Thy bounty; deprive it not of the waters of
Thy generosity, neither do Thou withhold it from
the ocean of Thy mercy. I beseech Thee to aid and
assist me at all times and under all conditions, and
seek from the heaven of Thy grace Thine ancient
favor. Thou art, in truth, the Lord of bounty, and
the Sovereign of the kingdom of eternity.
