Well is it with him that hath
held fast unto Thy firm cord and clung to the hem of Thy resplendent robe!
I ask Thee, O Lord of all being and King of the seen and unseen, by Thy
power, Thy majesty and Thy sovereignty, to grant that my name may be
recorded by Thy pen of glory among Thy devoted ones, them whom the scrolls
of the sinful hindered not from turning to the light of Thy countenance, O
prayer-hearing, prayer-answering God!
--Baha'u'llah
"Glorified art Thou, O Lord my God! I beseech..."
Glorified art Thou, O Lord my God! I beseech Thee by Him Who is Thy Most
Great Name, Who hath been sorely afflicted by such of Thy creatures as
have repudiated Thy truth, and Who hath been hemmed in by sorrows which no
tongue can describe, to grant that I may remember Thee and celebrate Thy
praise, in these days when all have turned away from Thy beauty, have
disputed with Thee, and turned away disdainfully from Him Who is the
Revealer of Thy Cause. None is there, O my Lord, to help Thee except Thine
own Self, and no power to succor Thee save Thine own power.
I entreat Thee to enable me to cleave steadfastly to Thy love and Thy
remembrance.
