“Glory be to Thee, O Lord my God! I beg of…” 90 |
Glory be to Thee, O Lord my God! I beg of
Thee by Thy Name through which He
Who is Thy Beauty hath been stablished upon the
throne of Thy Cause, and by Thy Name through
which Thou changest all things, and gatherest together
all things, and callest to account all things,
and rewardest all things, and preservest all things,
and sustainest all things—I beg of Thee to guard
this handmaiden who hath fled for refuge to Thee,
and hath sought the shelter of Him in Whom
Thou Thyself art manifest, and hath put her whole
trust and confidence in Thee.
|
She is sick, O my God, and hath entered beneath
the shadow of the Tree of Thy healing; afflicted,
and hath fled to the City of Thy protection;
diseased, and hath sought the Fountainhead
of Thy favors; sorely vexed, and hath hasted to
attain the Wellspring of Thy tranquillity; burdened
with sin, and hath set her face toward the
court of Thy forgiveness.
|
Attire her, by Thy sovereignty and Thy loving-kindness,
O my God and my Beloved, with the
raiment of Thy balm and Thy healing, and make
her quaff of the cup of Thy mercy and Thy favors.
Protect her, moreover, from every affliction and
91
ailment, from all pain and sickness, and from
whatsoever may be abhorrent unto Thee.
