rulest all things,
and in Whose hand is the kingdom of the entire
creation.
Thou,
verily,
doest what Thou choosest.
No God is there beside
Thee,
the Almighty,
the All-Glorious,
the Ever-Forgiving.
Praise be to Thee,
O Lord my God!
I implore Thee by Thy Name that hath
caused to surge within every drop the oceans of Thy loving-kindness and
mercy,
and to shine within every atom the luminaries of Thy bountiful
blessings and favors,
--I implore Thee to adorn every soul with the ornament
of Thy love,
that none may remain on Thine earth who hath not turned
towards Thee,
or hath failed to detach himself from all except Thy Self.
Thou hast,
verily,
O my God,
suffered Him Who is the Manifestation of
Thine own Self to be afflicted with all manner of adversity in order that
Thy servants may ascend unto the pinnacle of Thy gracious favor,
and
attain unto that which Thou hast,
through Thy providence and tender
mercies,
ordained for them in the Tablets of Thine irrevocable decree.
The
glory of Thy might beareth me witness!
Were they,
every moment of their
lives,
to offer up themselves as a sacrifice in Thy path,
they would still
have done but little in comparison with the manifold bestowals vouchsafed
unto them by Thee.
Grant,
therefore,
I beseech Thee,
that their hearts may be inclined
towards Thee,
and that their faces may be turned in the direction of Thy
good-pleasure.
Powerful art Thou to do what Thou willest.
No God is there
but Thee,
the Inaccessible,
the All-Glorious,
the Ever-Forgiving.
Deign,
then,
to accept,
O my God,
from Thy servant the things which he
hath shown forth in his love for Thee.
Fortify him,
then,
that he may
cling to Thy most exalted Word,
and to unloose his tongue to celebrate Thy
praise,
and cause him to be gathered unto such of Thy people as are nigh
unto Thee.
Thou art He within Whose grasp is the empire of all things.
There is no God but Thee,
the Almighty,
the Help in Peril,
the
All-Glorious,
the Unconstrained.
Magnified be Thy name,
O Thou in Whose grasp are the reins of the souls of
all them that have recognized Thee,
