O Lord my God! |
Rain down, |
I beseech Thee, |
from the |
clouds of Thine overflowing grace, |
that which shall cleanse the hearts of |
Thy servants from whatever may prevent their beholding Thy face, |
or may |
prevent them from turning unto Thee, |
that they may all recognize Him Who |
is their Fashioner and Creator. |
Help them, |
then, |
O God, |
to reach forth, |
through the power of Thy sovereign might, |
towards such a station that they |
can readily distinguish every foul smell from the fragrance of the raiment |
of Him Who is the Bearer of Thy most lofty and exalted name, |
that they may |
turn with all their affections toward Thee, |
and may enjoy such intimate |
communion with Thee that if all that is in heaven and on earth were given |
them they would regard it as unworthy of their notice, |
and would refuse to |
cease from remembering Thee and from extolling Thy virtues. |
Shield, |
I pray Thee, |
O my Beloved, |
my heart's Desire, |
Thy servant who hath |
sought Thy face, |
from the darts of them that have denied Thee and from the |
shafts of such as have repudiated Thy Truth. |
Cause him, |
then, |
to be wholly |
devoted to Thee, |
to declare Thy name, |
and to fix his gaze upon the |
sanctuary of Thy Revelation. |
Thou art, |
in truth, |
He Who, |
at no time, |
hath |
turned away those who have set their hopes in Thee from the door of Thy |
mercy, |
nor prevented such as have sought Thee from attaining the court of |
Thy grace. |
No God is there but Thee, |
the Most Powerful, |
the All-Highest, |
the Help in Peril, |
the All-Glorious, |
the All-Compelling, |
the |
Unconditioned. |
Magnified, |
O Lord my God, |
be Thy Name, |
whereby the trees of the garden of |
Thy Revelation have been clad with verdure, |
and been made to yield the |
fruits of holiness during this Springtime when the sweet savors of Thy |
favors and blessings have been wafted over all things, |
and caused them to |
bring forth whatsoever had been preordained for them in the Kingdom of |
Thine irrevocable decree and the Heaven of Thine immutable purpose. |
I |
beseech Thee by this very Name not to suffer me to be far from the court |
of Thy holiness, |
nor debarred from the exalted sanctuary of Thy unity and |
oneness. |
Ignite, |
then, |
O my God, |
within my breast the fire of Thy love, |
that its |
flame may burn up all else except my remembrance of Thee, |
that every trace |
of corrupt desire may be entirely mortified within me, |
and that naught may |
remain except the glorification of Thy transcendent and all-glorious |
Being. |
This is my highest aspiration, |
mine ardent desire, |
O Thou Who |
