“O Thou forgiving God! These servants are…” |
O Thou forgiving God! These servants are
turning to Thy kingdom and seeking Thy
grace and bounty. O God! Make their hearts good
and pure in order that they may become worthy
of Thy love. Purify and sanctify the spirits that the
light of the Sun of Reality may shine upon them.
Purify and sanctify the eyes that they may perceive
Thy light. Purify and sanctify the ears in
order that they may hear the call of Thy kingdom.

O Lord! Verily, we are weak, but Thou art
mighty. Verily, we are poor, but Thou art rich.
We are the seekers, and Thou art the One sought.
O Lord! Have compassion upon us and forgive us;
bestow upon us such capacity and receptiveness
that we may be worthy of Thy favors and become
114
attracted to Thy kingdom, that we may drink
deep of the water of life, may be enkindled by the
fire of Thy love, and be resuscitated through the
breaths of the Holy Spirit in this radiant century.

O Lord! Bestow Thy gracious aid and confirmation
upon this just government. This country
lieth beneath the sheltering shadow of Thy
protection, and this people is in Thy service. O
Lord! Confer upon them Thy heavenly bounty
and render the outpourings of Thy grace and favor
copious and abundant. Suffer this esteemed nation
to be held in honor, and enable it to be admitted
into Thy kingdom.
