Verily, Thou art the
Lord of grace abounding.
--The Bab
"Lord! Pitiful are we, grant us Thy favor; poor,..."
Lord! Pitiful are we, grant us Thy favor; poor, bestow upon us a share
from the ocean of Thy wealth; needy, do Thou satisfy us; abased, give us
Thy glory. The fowls of the air and the beasts of the field receive their
meat each day from Thee, and all beings partake of Thy care and
loving-kindness.
Deprive not this feeble one of Thy wondrous grace and vouchsafe by Thy
might unto this helpless soul Thy bounty.
Give us our daily bread, and grant Thine increase in the necessities of
life, that we may be dependent on none other but Thee, may commune wholly
with Thee, may walk in Thy ways and declare Thy mysteries. Thou art the
Almighty and the Loving and the Provider of all mankind.
--'Abdu'l-Baha
"O Thou kind Lord! We are servants of Thy..."
O Thou kind Lord! We are servants of Thy Threshold, taking shelter at Thy
holy Door. We seek no refuge save only this strong pillar, turn nowhere
for a haven but unto Thy safekeeping. Protect us, bless us, support us,
make us such that we shall love but Thy good pleasure, utter only Thy
praise, follow only the pathway of truth, that we may become rich enough
to dispense with all save Thee, and receive our gifts from the sea of Thy
beneficence, that we may ever strive to exalt Thy Cause and to spread Thy
sweet savors far and wide, that we may become oblivious of self and
occupied only with Thee, and disown all else and be caught up in Thee.
