“O Thou, my God! Who guidest the seeker to…” |
O Thou, my God! Who guidest the seeker to
the pathway that leadeth aright, Who deliverest
the lost and blinded soul out of the wastes
of perdition, Thou Who bestowest upon the sincere
great bounties and favors, Who guardest the
frightened within Thine impregnable refuge, Who
answerest, from Thine all-highest horizon, the cry
of those who cry out unto Thee. Praised be Thou,
O my Lord! Thou hast guided the distracted out
of the death of unbelief, and hast brought those
who draw nigh unto Thee to the journey’s goal,
and hast rejoiced the assured among Thy servants
by granting them their most cherished desires,
and hast, from Thy Kingdom of beauty, opened
168
before the faces of those who yearn after Thee the
gates of reunion, and hast rescued them from the
fire of deprivation and loss—so that they hastened
unto Thee and gained Thy presence, and
arrived at Thy welcoming door, and received of
gifts an abundant share.

O my Lord, they thirsted, Thou didst lift to
their parched lips the waters of reunion. O Tender
One, Bestowing One, Thou didst calm their pain
with the balm of Thy bounty and grace, and didst
heal their ailments with the sovereign medicine
of Thy compassion. O Lord, make firm their feet
on Thy straight path, make wide for them the
needle’s eye, and cause them, dressed in royal
robes, to walk in glory for ever and ever.
