mention would be but blasphemy uttered within the court of Thy holiness, |
and such praise would amount to no less than a transgression in the face |
of the evidences of Thy Divine sovereignty. |
For the mere mention of any |
one of Thy creatures would in itself imply an assertion of their existence |
before the court of Thy singleness and unity. |
Such an assertion would be |
naught but open blasphemy, |
an act of impiety, |
the essence of profanity and |
a wanton crime. |
Wherefore, |
I bear witness with my soul, |
my spirit, |
my entire being, |
that |
should They Who are the Day-Springs of Thy most holy unity and the |
Manifestations of Thy transcendent oneness be able to soar so long as |
Thine own sovereignty endureth and Thine all-compelling authority can |
last, |
they will fail in the end to attain unto even the precincts of the |
court wherein Thou didst reveal the effulgence of but one of Thy most |
mighty Names. |
Glorified, |
glorified be, |
therefore, |
Thy wondrous majesty. |
Glorified, |
glorified be Thine unattainable loftiness. |
Glorified, |
glorified |
be the préeminence of Thy kingship and the sublimity of Thine authority |
and power. |
The highest faculties which the learned have possessed, |
and whatsoever |
truths they, |
in their search after the gems of Thy knowledge, |
have |
discovered; |
the brightest realities with which the wise have been endowed, |
and whatever secrets they, |
in their attempts to fathom the mysteries of |
Thy wisdom, |
have unraveled, |
have all been created through the generative |
power of the Spirit that was breathed into the Pen which Thy hands have |
fashioned. |
How, |
then, |
can the thing which Thy Pen hath created be capable |
of comprehending those treasures of Thy Faith with which, |
as decreed by |
Thee, |
that Pen hath been invested? |
How can it ever know of the Fingers |
that grasp Thy Pen, |
and of Thy merciful favors with which it hath been |
endowed? |
How can it, |
already unable to reach this station, |
be made aware |
of the existence of Thy Hand that controlleth the Fingers of Thy might? |
How can it attain unto the comprehension of the nature of Thy Will that |
animateth the movement of Thy Hand? |
Glorified, |
glorified be Thou, |
O my God! |
How can I ever hope to ascend into |
the heaven of Thy most holy will, |
or gain admittance into the tabernacle |
of Thy Divine knowledge, |
knowing as I do that the minds of the wise and |
learned are impotent to fathom the secrets of Thy handiwork--a handiwork |
which is itself but a creation of Thy will? |
Praise be to Thee, |
O Lord, |
my God, |
my Master, |
my Possessor, |
my King. |
Now |
that I have confessed unto Thee my powerlessness and the powerlessness of |
all created things, |
and have acknowledged my poverty and the poverty of |
the entire creation, |
I call unto Thee with my tongue and the tongues of |
all that are in heaven and on earth, |
and beseech Thee with my heart and |
