He is God
O God O God! Thou dost look upon
us from Thine unseen Kingdom of Oneness, [beholding] that we have assembled in
this Spiritual Meeting, believing in Thee, confident in Thy signs, firm in Thy
Covenant and Testament, attracted unto Thee, set aglow with the fire of Thy
love, sincere in Thy Cause, servants in Thy vineyard, spreaders of Thy
Religion, worshippers of Thy Countenance, humble to Thy beloved, submissive at
Thy door and imploring Thee to confirm us in the service of Thy chosen ones.
Support us with Thine unseen hosts, strengthen our loins in Thy servitude and
make us submissive and worshipping servants, communing with Thee.
O our Lord! We are weak and Thou are the Mighty, the Powerful! We are mortals
and Thou art the great life-giving Spirit! We are needy and Thou art the
Powerful and Sustainer!
O our Lord! Turn our faces unto Thy divine face; feed us from Thy heavenly
table by Thy godly grace; help us through the hosts of Thy supreme angels and
confirm us by the holy ones of the Kingdom of Abha.
Verily Thou art the Generous, the Merciful! Thou art possessor of great bounty
and verily Thou art the Clement and Gracious!
