Glorified, |
immeasurably glorified art Thou, |
O my God, |
and my Beloved, |
and |
my Master, |
and my Desire! |
Shatter not the hopes of this lowly one to |
attain the shores of Thy glory, |
and deprive not this wretched creature of |
the immensities of Thy riches, |
and cast not away this suppliant from the |
doors of Thy grace, |
and Thy bounty, |
and Thy gifts. |
Have mercy, |
then, |
upon |
this poor and desolate soul who hath sought no friend but Thee, |
and no |
companion except Thee, |
and no comforter save Thee, |
and no beloved apart |
from Thee, |
nor cherished any desire but Thyself. |
Cast, |
then, |
upon me, |
O my God, |
the glances of Thy mercy, |
and forgive me my |
trespasses and the trespasses of them that are dear to Thee, |
and which |
come in between us and the revelation of Thy triumph and Thy grace. |
Cancel |
Thou, |
moreover, |
our sins which have shut off our faces from the splendors |
of the Day-Star of Thy favors. |
Powerful art Thou to do Thy pleasure. |
Thou |
ordainest what Thou willest, |
and art not asked of what Thou wishest |
through the power of Thy sovereignty, |
nor canst Thou be frustrated in |
whatsoever Thou prescribest through Thine irrevocable decree. |
No God is |
there save Thee, |
the Almighty, |
the Most Powerful, |
the Ever-living, |
the |
Most Compassionate. |
