O Divine Providence! |
Though wicked, |
sinful, |
and intemperate, |
we still seek |
from Thee a "seat of truth, |
" and long to behold the countenance of the |
Omnipotent King. |
It is Thine to command, |
and all sovereignty belongeth to |
Thee, |
and the realm of might boweth before Thy behest. |
Everything Thou |
doest is pure justice, |
nay, |
the very essence of grace. |
One gleam from the |
splendors of Thy Name, |
the All-Merciful, |
sufficeth to banish and blot out |
every trace of sinfulness from the world, |
and a single breath from the |
breezes of the Day of Thy Revelation is enough to adorn all mankind with a |
fresh attire. |
Vouchsafe Thy strength, |
O Almighty One, |
unto Thy weak creatures, |
and |
quicken them who are as dead, |
that haply they may find Thee, |
and may be |
led unto the ocean of Thy guidance, |
and may remain steadfast in Thy Cause. |
Should the fragrance of Thy praise be shed abroad by any of the divers |
tongues of the world, |
out of the East or out of the West, |
it would, |
verily, |
be prized and greatly cherished. |
If such tongues, |
however, |
be |
deprived of that fragrance, |
they assuredly would be unworthy of any |
mention, |
be they words or thoughts. |
We beg of Thee, |
O Providence, |
to show Thy way unto all men, |
and to guide |
them aright. |
Thou art, |
verily, |
the Almighty, |
the Most Powerful, |
the |
All-Knowing, |
the All-Seeing. |
Praise be to Thee, |
O my God, |
inasmuch as Thou hast turned the faces of Thy |
servants towards the right-hand of the throne of Thy gifts, |
and hast |
caused them to be detached from all else besides Thee, |
that they may |
recognize Thy sovereignty and acknowledge Thy glory. |
I testify to the |
potency of Thy Cause, |
the pervasive influence of Thy decree, |
the |
immutability of Thy will, |
the endlessness of Thy purpose. |
All things lie |
prisoned within the grasp of Thy might, |
and the whole creation is |
destitute when brought face to face with the evidences of Thy wealth. |
Deal Thou, |
therefore, |
O my God, |
my Beloved, |
my supreme Desire, |
with Thy |
servants and with all that were created by Thee as would beseem Thy beauty |
and Thy greatness, |
