the court of Thy presence, to cast upon us the glances of Thy tender
compassion and to regard us with the eye of Thy loving providence. Cause
our souls to be enkindled with the fire of Thy tender affection and give
us to drink of the living waters of Thy bounty. Keep us steadfast in the
path of Thine ardent love and enable us to abide within the precincts of
Thy holiness. Verily Thou art the Giver, the Most Generous, the
