Lauded be Thy name, O my God and the God of
all things, my Glory and the Glory of all
things, my Desire and the Desire of all things, my
Strength and the Strength of all things, my King
and the King of all things, my Possessor and the
Possessor of all things, my Aim and the Aim of
all things, my Mover and the Mover of all things!
Suffer me not, I implore Thee, to be kept back
from the ocean of Thy tender mercies, nor to be
far removed from the shores of nearness to Thee.

Aught else except Thee, O my Lord, profiteth
me not, and near access to anyone save Thyself
availeth me nothing. I entreat Thee by the plenteousness
of Thy riches, whereby Thou didst dispense
with all else except Thyself, to number me
with such as have set their faces towards Thee, and
arisen to serve Thee.

3 |
Forgive, then, O my Lord, Thy servants and
Thy handmaidens. Thou, truly, art the Ever-Forgiving,
the Most Compassionate.
- Bahá'u'lláh
