“O God, my God! Fill up for me the cup of detachment…” |
|
O God, my God! Fill up for me the cup of detachment
from all things, and in the assembly
of Thy splendors and bestowals, rejoice
me with the wine of loving Thee. Free me from
the assaults of passion and desire, break off from
me the shackles of this nether world, draw me
with rapture unto Thy supernal realm, and refresh
me amongst the handmaids with the breathings
of Thy holiness.

O Lord, brighten Thou my face with the lights
of Thy bestowals, light Thou mine eyes with beholding
the signs of Thine all-subduing might;
delight my heart with the glory of Thy knowledge
that encompasseth all things, gladden Thou
my soul with Thy soul-reviving tidings of great
joy, O Thou King of this world and the Kingdom
above, O Thou Lord of dominion and might,
that I may spread abroad Thy signs and tokens,
and proclaim Thy Cause, and promote Thy
59
Teachings, and serve Thy Law and exalt Thy
Word.
