"He is the Compassionate, the All-Bountiful!..."

1 |
He is the Compassionate, the All-Bountiful!
O God, my God! Thou seest me, Thou
knowest me; Thou art my Haven and my Refuge.
None have I sought nor any will I seek save
Thee; no path have I trodden nor any will I tread
but the path of Thy love. In the darksome night of
despair, my eye turneth expectant and full of hope
to the morn of Thy boundless favor and at the
hour of dawn my drooping soul is refreshed an
strengthened in remembrance of Thy beauty and
perfection. He whom the grace of Thy mercy
aideth, though he be but a drop, shall become the
boundless ocean, and the merest atom which the
outpouring of Thy loving-kindness assisteth,
shall shine even as the radiant star.

2 |
Shelter under Thy protection, O Thou Spirit
of purity, Thou Whom art the All-Bountiful Provider,
this enthralled, enkindled servant of Thine.
Aid him in this world of being to remain steadfast
and firm in Thy love and grant that this broken-winged
bird attain a refuge and shelter in Thy divine
nest that abideth upon the celestial tree.
- `Abdu'l-Bahá
