Thou art He Who banisheth every sorrow and setteth free every
slave, the Redeemer of every soul. O Lord! Grant deliverance through Thy
mercy, and reckon me among such servants of Thine as have gained
salvation.
--The Bab
"O Lord, my God and my Haven in my distress!..."
O Lord, my God and my Haven in my distress! My Shield and my Shelter in my
woes! My Asylum and Refuge in time of need and in my loneliness my
Companion! In my anguish my Solace, and in my solitude a loving Friend!
The Remover of the pangs of my sorrows and the Pardoner of my sins!
Wholly unto Thee do I turn, fervently imploring Thee with all my heart, my
mind and my tongue, to shield me from all that runs counter to Thy will in
this, the cycle of Thy divine unity, and to cleanse me of all defilement
that will hinder me from seeking, stainless and unsullied, the shade of
the tree of Thy grace.
Have mercy, O Lord, on the feeble, make whole the sick, and quench the
burning thirst.
Gladden the bosom wherein the fire of Thy love doth smolder, and set it
aglow with the flame of Thy celestial love and spirit.
