“O Thou Forgiving Lord!…” |

O Thou Forgiving Lord!

Although certain souls finished the days of life in
ignorance, were estranged and selfish, yet the ocean of
Thy forgiveness is, verily, able to redeem and make
179
free the sinners by one of its waves. Thou redeemest
whomsoever Thou willest and deprivest whomsoever
Thou willest not
2
! Shouldst Thou treat justly, we all
are sinners and deserve to be deprived; and shouldst
Thou observe mercy, every sinner shall be made pure
and every stranger shall become a friend. Therefore,
forgive and pardon and grant Thy mercy unto all.
Thou art the Forgiver, the Light-giver and the
Compassionate!
