CXLVIII: “Glory be to Thee, O Lord my God! I implore Thee…” |
Glory be to Thee, O Lord my God! I implore Thee
by Thy Name, through which Thou didst lift up the
ensigns of Thy guidance, and didst shed the radiance
of Thy loving-kindness, and didst reveal the sovereignty
of Thy Lordship; through which the lamp of
Thy names hath appeared within the niche of Thine
attributes, and He Who is the Tabernacle of Thy
unity and the Manifestation of detachment hath
shone forth; through which the ways of Thy guidance
were made known, and the paths of Thy good
pleasure were marked out; through which the foundations
of error have been made to tremble, and the
signs of wickedness have been abolished; through
which the fountains of wisdom have burst forth, and
238
the heavenly table hath been sent down; through
which Thou didst preserve Thy servants and didst
vouchsafe Thy healing; through which Thou didst
show forth Thy tender mercies unto Thy servants
and revealedst Thy forgiveness amidst Thy creatures—I implore Thee to keep safe him who hath held fast
and returned unto Thee, and clung to Thy mercy,
and seized the hem of Thy loving providence. Send
down, then, upon him Thy healing, and make him
whole, and endue him with a constancy vouchsafed
by Thee, and a tranquillity bestowed by Thy highness.
