O Thou kind Lord! These are Thy servants who have gathered
in this meeting, have turned unto Thy Kingdom and are in need of Thy bestowal
and blessing. O thou God! Manifest and make evident the signs of Thy oneness
which have been deposited in all the realities of life. Reveal and unfold the
virtues which Thou hast made latent and concealed in these human realities.
O God! We are as plants, and Thy bounty is as the rain;
refresh and cause these plants to grow through Thy bestowal. We are Thy
servants; free us from the fetters of material existence. We are ignorant; make
us wise. We are dead; make us alive. We are material; endow us with spirit. We
are deprived; make us the intimates of Thy mysteries. We are needy; enrich and
bless us from Thy boundless treasury. O God! Resuscitate us; give us sight;
give us hearing; familiarize us with the mysteries of life, so that the secrets
of Thy kingdom may become revealed to us in this world of existence and we may
confess Thy oneness. Every bestowal emanates from Thee; every benediction is
Thine.
Thou art mighty. Thou art powerful. Thou art the Giver, and
Thou art the Ever-Bounteous.
