Glorified art Thou, O Lord my God! I implore Thee by the
onrushing winds of Thy grace, and by them Who are the Day-Springs of Thy
purpose and the Dawning-Places of Thine inspiration, to send down upon me and
upon all that have sought Thy face that which beseemeth Thy generosity and
bountiful grace, and is worthy of Thy bestowals and favors. Poor and desolate I
am, O my Lord! Immerse me in the ocean of Thy wealth; athirst, suffer me to
drink from the living waters of Thy loving-kindness.
I beseech Thee, by Thine own Self and by Him Whom Thou hast
appointed as the Manifestation of Thine own Being and Thy discriminating Word
unto all that are in heaven and on earth, to gather together Thy servants
beneath the shade of the Tree of Thy gracious providence. Help them, then, to
partake of its fruits, to incline their ears to the rustling of its leaves, and
to the sweetness of the voice of the Bird that chanteth upon its branches. Thou
art, verily, the Help in Peril, the Inaccessible, the Almighty, the Most
Bountiful.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Prayers and Meditations by Baha’u’llah’)
