CXXXVIII: “O God, and the God of all Names, and Maker of…” 226 |
O God, and the God of all Names, and Maker of
the heavens! I entreat Thee by Thy Name through
which He Who is the Day-Spring of Thy might and
the Dawning-Place of Thy power hath been manifested,
through which every solid thing hath been
made to flow, and every dead corpse hath been quickened,
and every moving spirit confirmed—I entreat
Thee to enable me to rid myself of all attachment
to any one but Thee, and to serve Thy Cause, and
to wish what Thou didst wish through the power of
Thy sovereignty, and to perform what is the good
pleasure of Thy will.

I beseech Thee, moreover, O my God, to ordain
for me what will make me rich enough to dispense
with any one save Thee. Thou seest me, O my God,
with my face turned towards Thee, and my hands
clinging to the cord of Thy grace. Send down upon
me Thy mercy, and write down for me what Thou
hast written down for Thy chosen ones. Powerful art
Thou to do what pleaseth Thee. No God is there but
Thee, the Ever-Forgiving, the All-Bountiful.
