Powerful, the Generous, the Loving.

"O my God! O my God! This, Thy servant,..."

O my God! O my God! This, Thy servant, hath advanced towards Thee, is
passionately wandering in the desert of Thy love, walking in the path of
Thy service, anticipating Thy favors, hoping for Thy bounty, relying upon
Thy kingdom, and intoxicated by the wine of Thy gift. O my God! Increase
the fervor of his affection for Thee, the constancy of his praise of Thee,
and the ardor of his love for Thee.

Verily, Thou art the Most Generous, the Lord of grace abounding. There is
no other God but Thee, the Forgiving, the Merciful.

Verily, Thou art the Mighty, the Powerful, the Protector, the Strong, the
Beneficent! Verily, Thou art the Lord of all mercies!

and Thy handmaidens, who have bowed themselves down before Thine exalted
Utterance and humbled themselves at Thy Threshold of light, and borne
witness to Thy oneness through which the Sun hath been made to shine in
midday splendor. They have listened to the summons Thou didst raise from
out Thy hidden Realm, and with hearts quivering with love and rapture,

O Lord, shower upon them all the outpourings of Thy mercy, rain down upon
