O Thou Provider, O Thou Forgiver! Grant us Thy grace and loving-kindness,
Thy gifts and Thy bestowals, and sustain us, that we may attain our goal.
Thou art the Powerful, the Able, the Knower, the Seer; and, verily, Thou
art the Generous, and, verily, Thou art the All-Merciful, and, verily,
Thou art the Ever-Forgiving, He to Whom repentance is due, He Who
forgiveth even the most grievous of sins.

Remove not, O Lord, the festal board that hath been spread in Thy Name,
and extinguish not the burning flame that hath been kindled by Thine
unquenchable fire. Withhold not from flowing that living water of Thine
that murmureth with the melody of Thy glory and Thy remembrance, and
deprive not Thy servants from the fragrance of Thy sweet savors breathing
forth the perfume of Thy love.
Lord! Turn the distressing cares of Thy holy ones into ease, their
hardship into comfort, their abasement into glory, their sorrow into
blissful joy, O Thou that holdest in Thy grasp the reins of all mankind!
Thou art, verily, the One, the Single, the Mighty, the All-Knowing, the
All-Wise.
