TRIUMPH OF THE CAUSE “Lauded be Thy name, O Lord my God! Darkness…” 196 |
They that are shut out as by a veil from Thee
have imagined that they have the power to put
out Thy light, and to quench Thy fire, and to still
the winds of Thy grace. Nay, and to this Thy
might beareth me witness! Had not every tribulation
been made the bearer of Thy wisdom, and
every ordeal the vehicle of Thy providence, no
one would have dared oppose us, though the
powers of earth and heaven were to be leagued
against us. Were I to unravel the wondrous mysteries
of Thy wisdom which are laid bare before
me, the reins of Thine enemies would be cleft
asunder.

Glorified be Thou, then, O my God! I beseech
197
Thee by Thy Most Great Name to assemble them
that love Thee around the Law that streameth
from the good pleasure of Thy will, and to send
down upon them what will assure their hearts.
