Sanctified art Thou, O Lord, Thou unto Whom all render
thanksgiving. Whatever I may affirm of Thee would be but
a wanton crime before Thee, and whatever mention I may choose to make of Thee
would be the essence of transgression, and whatever the praise whereby I may
glorify Thee, it would amount to sheer blasphemy. No one else besides Thee hath
been or will ever be able to fathom Thy mystery, neither hath any one succeeded
nor will anyone succeed at any time in discovering Thine Essence.
Magnified art Thou! No God is there but Thee. Thou art in
truth the Supreme Ruler, the Help in Peril, the Most High, the Incomparable,
the Omnipotent, the All-Powerful. Verily Thou art mighty in Thy prowess, the
Lord of transcendent glory and majesty.
