He Is God
O God O God! Thou dost look upon us from Thine unseen
Kingdom of Oneness, [beholding] that we have assembled in this Spiritual
Meeting, believing in Thee, confident in Thy signs, firm in Thy Covenant and
Testament, attracted unto Thee, set aglow with the fire of Thy love, sincere in
Thy Cause, servants in Thy vineyard, spreaders of Thy Religion, worshippers of
Thy Countenance, humble to Thy beloved, submissive at Thy door and imploring
Thee to confirm us in the service of Thy chosen ones. Support us with Thine
unseen hosts, strengthen our loins in Thy servitude and make us submissive and
worshipping servants, communing with Thee.
O our Lord! We are weak and Thou are the Mighty, the
Powerful! We are mortals and Thou art the great life-giving Spirit! We are
needy and Thou art the Powerful and Sustainer!
O our Lord! Turn our faces unto Thy divine face; feed us
from Thy heavenly table by Thy godly grace; help us through the hosts of Thy
supreme angels and confirm us by the holy ones of the Kingdom of Abha.
Verily Thou art the Generous, the Merciful! Thou art
possessor of great bounty and verily Thou art the Clement and Gracious!
