| 1 |
Let the spreaders of the fragrances of God recite this prayer
every morning:
| |
| 2 |
O Lord, my God! Praise and thanksgiving be
unto Thee for Thou hast guided me to
the highway of the kingdom, suffered me to walk
in this straight and far-stretching path, illumined
my eye by beholding the splendors of Thy light,
inclined my ear to the melodies of the birds of
holiness from the kingdom of mysteries and attracted
my heart with Thy love among the righteous.
| |
| 3 |
O Lord! Confirm me with the Holy Spirit, so
that I may call in Thy Name amongst the nations
and give the glad tidings of the manifestation of
Thy kingdom amongst mankind.
| |
| 4 |
O Lord! I am weak, strengthen me with Thy
power and potency. My tongue falters, suffer me
to utter Thy commemoration and praise. I am
lowly, honor me through admitting me into Thy
kingdom. I am remote, cause me to approach the
threshold of Thy mercifulness. O Lord! Make me
a brilliant lamp, a shining star and a bless tree,
adorned with fruit, its branches overshadowing
all these regions. Verily, Thou art the Mighty,
the Powerful and Unconstrained.
- `Abdu'l-Bahá
