FIRMNESS IN THE COVENANT “Glory be to Thee, O King of eternity, and the…” 68 |
|
Glory be to Thee, O King of eternity, and the
Maker of nations, and the Fashioner of
every moldering bone! I pray Thee, by Thy Name
through which Thou didst call all mankind unto
the horizon of Thy majesty and glory, and didst
guide Thy servants to the court of Thy grace and
favors, to number me with such as have rid themselves
from everything except Thyself, and have
set themselves towards Thee, and have not been
kept back by such misfortunes as were decreed by
Thee, from turning in the direction of Thy gifts.

I have laid hold, O my Lord, on the handle of
Thy bounty, and clung steadfastly to the hem of
the robe of Thy favor. Send down, then, upon
me, out of the clouds of Thy generosity, what will
purge out from me the remembrance of anyone
except Thee, and make me able to turn unto Him
Who is the Object of the adoration of all mankind,
against Whom have been arrayed the stirrers of
69
sedition, who have broken Thy covenant, and disbelieved
in Thee and in Thy signs.

Deny me not, O my Lord, the fragrances of
Thy raiment in Thy days, and deprive me not of
the breathings of Thy Revelation at the appearance
of the splendors of the light of Thy face.
Powerful art Thou to do what pleaseth Thee.
Naught can resist Thy will, nor frustrate what
Thou hast purposed by Thy power.
