“O Lord! Render victorious Thy forbearing…” |
O Lord! Render victorious Thy forbearing
servants in Thy days by granting them a
befitting victory, inasmuch as they have sought
martyrdom in Thy path. Send down upon them
that which will bring comfort to their minds, will
rejoice their inner beings, will impart assurance
to their hearts and tranquillity to their bodies and
will enable their souls to ascend to the presence of
God, the Most Exalted, and to attain the supreme
Paradise and such retreats of glory as Thou hast
destined for men of true knowledge and virtue.
Verily, Thou knowest all things, while we are but
Thy servants, Thy thralls, Thy bondsmen and
Thy poor ones. No Lord but Thee do we invoke,
O God our Lord, nor do we implore blessings or
grace from anyone but Thee, O Thou Who art the
God of mercy unto this world and the next. We
are but the embodiments of poverty, of nothingness,
of helplessness and of perdition, while Thy
200
whole Being betokeneth wealth, independence,
glory, majesty and boundless grace.
