Robe the tabernacles of divine unity with the vesture of holiness, and set
upon my head the crown of Thy favor.
Illumine my face with the radiance of the orb of Thy bounty, and
graciously aid me in ministering at Thy holy threshold.
Make my heart overflow with love for Thy creatures and grant that I may
become the sign of Thy mercy, the token of Thy grace, the promoter of
concord amongst Thy loved ones, devoted unto Thee, uttering Thy
commemoration and forgetful of self but ever mindful of what is Thine.
O God, my God! Stay not from me the gentle gales of Thy pardon and grace,
and deprive me not of the wellsprings of Thine aid and favor.
'Neath the shade of Thy protecting wings let me nestle, and cast upon me
the glance of Thine all-protecting eye.
Loose my tongue to laud Thy name amidst Thy people, that my voice may be
raised in great assemblies and from my lips may stream the flood of Thy
praise.
Thou art, in all truth, the Gracious, the Glorified, the Mighty, the
Omnipotent.
--'Abdu'l-Baha
"He is the Compassionate, the All-Bountiful!..."
He is the Compassionate, the All-Bountiful! O God, my God! Thou seest me,
Thou knowest me; Thou art my Haven and my Refuge.
