"O Lord! Make these children excellent plants...."

O Lord! Make these children excellent plants. Let them grow and develop in
the Garden of Thy Covenant, and bestow freshness and beauty through the
outpourings of the clouds of the Abha Kingdom.

O Thou kind Lord! I am a little child, exalt me by admitting me to the
kingdom. I am earthly, make me heavenly; I am of the world below, let me
belong to the realm above; gloomy, suffer me to become radiant; material,
make me spiritual, and grant that I may manifest Thine infinite bounties.

Thou art the Powerful, the All-Loving.

"O my Lord! O my Lord!..."

O my Lord! O my Lord!

I am a child of tender years. Nourish me from the breast of Thy mercy,
train me in the bosom of Thy love, educate me in the school of Thy
guidance and develop me under the shadow of Thy bounty. Deliver me from
darkness, make me a brilliant light; free me from unhappiness, make me a
flower of the rose garden; suffer me to become a servant of Thy threshold
and confer upon me the disposition and nature of the righteous; make me a
cause of bounty to the human world, and crown my head with the diadem of
eternal life.

Verily, Thou art the Powerful, the Mighty, the Seer, the Hearer.

O Peerless Lord! Be Thou a shelter for this poor child and a kind and
forgiving Master unto this erring and unhappy soul. O Lord! Though we are
but worthless plants, yet we belong to Thy garden of roses. Though
saplings without leaves and blossoms, yet we are a part of Thine orchard.
Nurture this plant then through the outpourings of the clouds of Thy
tender mercy and quicken and refresh this sapling through the reviving
breath of Thy spiritual springtime. Suffer him to become heedful,
discerning and noble, and grant that he may attain eternal life and abide
in Thy Kingdom for evermore.
