rnal decree and will prosper me in every world of
Thine. Thou art in truth the Gracious, the Bountiful.
Lord! Turn me not away from the ocean of Thy wealth and the heaven of Thy
mercy, and ordain for me the good of this world and hereafter. Verily,
Thou art the Lord of the mercy-seat, enthroned in the highest; there is
none other God but Thee, the One, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.
--Baha'u'llah
"O my Lord! Make Thy beauty to be my food,..."
O my Lord! Make Thy beauty to be my food, and Thy presence my drink, and
Thy pleasure my hope, and praise of Thee my action, and remembrance of
Thee my companion, and the power of Thy sovereignty my succorer, and Thy
habitation my home, and my dwelling-place the seat Thou hast sanctified
from the limitations imposed upon them who are shut out as by a veil from
Thee.
Thou art, verily, the Almighty, the All-Glorious, the Most Powerful.
--Baha'u'llah
"Lauded be Thy Name, O Lord my God! I am..."
Lauded be Thy Name, O Lord my God! I am Thy servant who hath laid hold on
the cord of Thy tender mercies, and clung to the hem of Thy bounteousness.
I entreat Thee by Thy name whereby Thou hast subjected all created things,
both visible and invisible, and through which the breath that is life
indeed was wafted over the entire creation, to strengthen me by Thy power
which hath encompassed the heavens and the earth, and to guard me from all
sickness and tribulation. I bear witness that Thou art the Lord of all
names, and the Ordainer of all that may please Thee. There is none other
God but Thee, the Almighty, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.
Do Thou ordain for me, O my Lord, what will profit me in every world of
Thy worlds. Supply me, then, with what Thou hast written down for the
chosen ones among Thy creatures, whom neither the blame of the blamer, nor
the clamor of the infidel, nor the estrangement of such as have withdrawn
from Thee, hath deterred from turning towards Thee.
Thou, truly, art the Help in Peril through the power of Thy sovereignty.
No God is there save Thee, the Almighty, the Most Powerful.
--Baha'u'llah
"O my God, the God of bounty and mercy!..."
O my God, the God of bounty and mercy!
Thou art that King by Whose commanding word the whole creation hath been
called into being; and Thou art that All-Bountiful One the doings of Whose
servants have never hindered Him from showing forth His grace, nor have
they frustrated the revelations
