Shield them within the stronghold of Thy protection and safety, preserve
them in Thy watchful care, look upon them with the eyes of Thy providence
and mercy, make them the signs of Thy divine unity that are manifest
throughout all regions, the standards of Thy might that wave above Thy
mansions of grandeur, the shining lamps that burn with the oil of Thy
wisdom in the globes of Thy guidance, the birds of the garden of Thy
knowledge that warble upon the topmost boughs in Thy sheltering paradise,
and the leviathans of the ocean of Thy bounty that plunge by Thy supreme
mercy in the fathomless deeps.
O Lord, my God! Lowly are these servants of Thine, exalt them in Thy
kingdom on high; feeble, strengthen them by Thy supreme power; abased,
bestow upon them Thy glory in Thine all-highest realm; poor, enrich them
in Thy great dominion. Do Thou then ordain for them all the good Thou hast
destined in Thy worlds, visible and invisible, prosper them in this world
below, gladden their hearts with Thine inspiration, O Lord of all beings!
Illumine their hearts with Thy joyful tidings diffused from Thine
all-glorious Station, make firm their steps in Thy Most Great Covenant and
strengthen their loins in Thy firm Testament, by Thy bounty and promised
grace, O Gracious and Merciful One! Thou art, verily, the Gracious, the
All-Bountiful.
