Let me abide, O my Lord,
within the habitation of Thy glory, and suffer me, O my God, to emerge
from the darkness in which Thy divine obscurity is shrouded. Enable me to
partake of every good Thou hast vouchsafed unto Him Who is the Point and
unto such as are the exponents of His Cause, and ordain for me that which
beseemeth Thee and well becometh Thy station. Do Thou graciously forgive
me for the things that I have wrought in Thy holy presence, and look not
upon me with the glance of justice, but rather deliver me through Thy
grace, treat me with Thy mercy and deal with me according to Thy bountiful
favours, as is worthy of Thy glory.
Thou art the Ever-Forgiving, the All-Glorious, the Bestower of favours and
gifts, the Lord of grace abounding. Verily no God is there but Thee. Thou
art the All-Possessing, the Most High.
Sanctified art Thou, O Lord, Thou unto Whom all render thanksgiving.
Whatever I may affirm of Thee would be but a wanton crime before Thee, and
whatever mention I may choose to make of Thee would be the essence of
transgression, and whatever the praise whereby I may glorify Thee, it
would amount to sheer blasphemy. No one else besides Thee hath been or
will ever be able to fathom Thy mystery, neither hath any one succeeded
nor will anyone succeed at any time in discovering Thine Essence.
Magnified art Thou! No God is there but Thee. Thou art in truth the
Supreme Ruler, the Help in Peril, the Most High, the Incomparable, the
Omnipotent, the All-Powerful.
