“O Thou forgiving Lord! Thou art the shelter…” |
O Thou forgiving Lord! Thou art the shelter
of all these Thy servants. Thou knowest
the secrets and art aware of all things. We are all
helpless, and Thou art the Mighty, the Omnipotent.
We are all sinners, and Thou art the Forgiver
of sins, the Merciful, the Compassionate.
O Lord! Look not at our shortcomings. Deal with
us according to Thy grace and bounty. Our shortcomings
are many, but the ocean of Thy forgiveness
is boundless. Our weakness is grievous, but
the evidences of Thine aid and assistance are clear.
83
Therefore, confirm and strengthen us. Enable us
to do that which is worthy of Thy holy Threshold.
Illumine our hearts, grant us discerning eyes
and attentive ears. Resuscitate the dead and heal
the sick. Bestow wealth upon the poor and give
peace and security to the fearful. Accept us in Thy
kingdom and illumine us with the light of guidance.
Thou are the Powerful and the Omnipotent.
Thou art the Generous. Thou art the Clement.
Thou art the Kind.
