LXXVII: “O Thou, at Whose dreadful majesty all things have…” |
|
O Thou, at Whose dreadful majesty all things have
trembled, in Whose grasp are the affairs of all men,
towards Whose grace and mercy are set the faces of
all Thy creatures! I entreat Thee, by Thy Name
which Thou hast ordained to be the spirit of all
names that are in the kingdom of names, to shield
us from the whisperings of those who have turned
away from Thee, and have repudiated the truth of
Thy most august and most exalted Self, in this Revelation
that hath caused the kingdom of Thy names
to tremble.
|
|
I am one of Thy handmaidens, O my Lord! I have
turned my face towards the sanctuary of Thy gracious
favors and the adored tabernacle of Thy glory.
Purify me of all that is not of Thee, and strengthen
me to love Thee and to fulfill Thy pleasure, that I may
delight myself in the contemplation of Thy beauty,
and be rid of all attachment to any of Thy creatures,
and may, at every moment, proclaim: “Magnified be
God, the Lord of the worlds!”
|
|
Let my food, O my Lord, be Thy beauty, and my
drink the light of Thy presence, and my hope Thy
127
pleasure, and my work Thy praise, and my companion
Thy remembrance, and my aid Thy sovereignty,
and my dwelling-place Thy habitation, and
my home the seat which Thou hast exalted above the
limitations of them that are shut out as by a veil
from Thee.
