that have known Thee!

Praised be Thou, O my God, inasmuch as Thou hast aided us to recognize and
love Him. I, therefore, beseech Thee by Him and by Them Who are the
Day-Springs of Thy Divinity, and the Manifestations of Thy Lordship, and
the Treasuries of Thy Revelation, and the Depositories of Thine
inspiration, to enable us to serve and obey Him, and to empower us to
become the helpers of His Cause and the dispersers of His adversaries.
Powerful art Thou to do all that pleaseth Thee. No God is there beside
Thee, the Almighty, the All-Glorious, the One Whose help is sought by all
men!

LVIII: "PRAISE BE TO THEE, TO WHOM THE TONGUES OF ALL..."

Praise be to Thee, to Whom the tongues of all created things have, from
eternity, called, and yet failed to attain the heaven of Thine eternal
holiness and grandeur. The eyes of all beings have been opened to behold
the beauty of Thy radiant countenance, yet none hath succeeded in gazing
on the brightness of the light of Thy face. The hands of them that are
nigh unto Thee have, ever since the foundation of Thy glorious sovereignty
and the establishment of Thy holy dominion, been raised suppliantly
