MORNING “O my God and my Master! I am Thy servant…” 116 |
O my God and my Master! I am Thy servant
and the son of Thy servant. I have risen
from my couch at this dawntide when the Daystar
of Thy oneness hath shone forth from the Dayspring
of Thy will, and hath shed its radiance upon
the whole world, according to what had been ordained
in the Books of Thy Decree.
|
Praise be unto Thee, O my God, that we have
wakened to the splendors of the light of Thy
knowledge. Send down, then, upon us, O my
Lord, what will enable us to dispense with anyone
but Thee, and will rid us of all attachment to aught
except Thyself. Write down, moreover, for me,
and for such as are dear to me, and for my kindred,
man and woman alike, the good of this world and
the world to come. Keep us safe, then, through
Thine unfailing protection, O Thou the Beloved
of the entire creation and the Desire of the whole
universe, from them whom Thou hast made to
be the manifestations of the Evil Whisperer, who
117
whisper in men’s breasts. Potent art Thou to do
Thy pleasure. Thou art, verily, the Almighty, the
Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting.
|
Bless Thou, O Lord my God, Him Whom
Thou hast set over Thy most excellent Titles, and
through Whom Thou hast divided between the
godly and the wicked, and graciously aid us to do
what Thou lovest and desirest. Bless Thou, moreover,
O my God, them Who are Thy Words and
Thy Letters, and them who have set their faces
towards Thee, and turned unto Thy face, and
hearkened to Thy Call.
