Now that Thou hast guided them unto the door of Thy grace, |
O my Lord, |
cast |
them not away, |
by Thy bounty; |
and now that Thou hast summoned them unto |
the horizon of Thy Cause, |
keep them not back from Thee, |
by Thy |
graciousness and favor. |
Powerful art Thou to do as Thou pleasest. |
No God |
is there but Thee, |
the Omniscient, |
the All-Informed. |
Glorified art Thou, |
O Lord my God! |
My tongue, |
both the tongue of my body |
and the tongue of my heart, |
my limbs and members, |
every pulsating vein |
within me, |
every hair of my head, |
all proclaim that Thou art God, |
and that |
there is none other God beside Thee. |
From everlasting Thou hast been |
immeasurably exalted above all similitudes and comparisons, |
and sanctified |
from whatsoever pertaineth to the creation Thou hast created and |
fashioned. |
From eternity Thou hast been alone, |
with none to share the |
majesty of Thy singleness, |
and hast remained far above the changes and |
chances to which all Thy creatures are subjected. |
And when Thou didst purpose to demonstrate the power of Thy sovereign |
might, |
and to glorify Thy word, |
and to guide the steps of Thy people, |
Thou |
didst raise up from among Thy creatures One of Thy servants, |
Whom Thou |
didst send forth with the signs of Thy sovereignty, |
and Whom Thou didst |
endue with the clear tokens of Thy oneness, |
that He might fulfill Thy |
testimony unto all created things, |
and perfect Thy proof before all men. |
As soon as He revealed Himself, |
as bidden by Thee, |
and called Thy servants |
to turn in the direction of Thy gifts, |
and to set their faces towards the |
horizon of Thy knowledge, |
the signs of dissension appeared amongst them. |
Some responded to Thy call and, |
without the least hesitation, |
obeyed Thy |
summons. |
Others turned their backs to Thee, |
and followed the desires of a |
corrupt inclination. |
I implore Thee, |
O my God, |
by Thy Most Great Name, |
to enrapture the nations |
through the potency of the Word which Thou didst ordain to be the king of |
all words, |
the Word whereby the goodly pearls of Thy hidden wisdom were |
uncovered, |
and the gem-like mysteries which were wrapped up within Thee |
were unraveled. |
Deprive them not, |
by Thy grace and bounty, |
of the things |
Thou didst desire for them, |
and suffer them not to be far removed from the |
shores of the ocean of Thy presence. |
Every existence, |
whether seen or unseen, |
O my Lord, |
testifieth that Thy |
Subsets and Splits
