“THE glory of glories and the most resplendent light rest …” |
THE glory of glories and the most resplendent light rest
upon Thee, O my God. Thy majesty is so transcendent that
no human imagination can reach it and Thy consummate
power is so sublime that the birds of men’s hearts and minds
can never attain its heights. All beings acknowledge their
powerlessness to praise Thee as beseemeth Thy station.
Immeasurably exalted art Thou. No one can glorify Thy
Being, or fathom the evidences of Thy bounty as it exists
in Thine inmost Essence, since Thou alone knowest Thyself
as Thou art in Thyself.

I yield praise unto Thee, O Lord our God, for the bounty
of having called into being the realm of creation and invention—a praise which shineth resplendent through the
potency of Thine inspiration which none other but Thee
can befittingly appraise. I glorify Thee moreover and render
Thee thanks as beseemeth Thine awe-inspiring presence
and the glory of Thine overpowering majesty, for this
sublime blessing, this wondrous sign which is manifest in
Thy kingdoms of Revelation and Creation.
|
All glory be unto Thee. Immeasurably exalted is that
which beseemeth Thee. Verily no one hath ever adequately
grasped the loftiness of Thy station, nor hath any one
except Thee recognized Thee as beseemeth Thee. Thou
art manifest through the outpourings of Thy bounty, while
no one besides Thee can fathom the sublimity of Thy
Revelation.
|
Magnified be Thy name. Hath aught else save Thee any
independent existence so as to be capable of hinting at Thy
nature, and doth anyone but Thee possess any trace of
identity wherewith I could recognize Thee? All that is
known owes its renown to the splendour of Thy Name,
the Most Manifest, and every object is deeply stirred by the
vibrating influence emanating from Thine invincible Will.
Thou art nearer unto all things than all things.
