CVII: "I beseech Thee, O my Lord, by that Remembrance..."
| |
1 |
I beseech Thee, O my Lord, by that Remembrance of Thee through which all things have been raised
to life, and through which all faces have been made
to shine, not to frustrate the hopes I have set on the
things Thou dost possess. Cause me, then, by Thy
mercy, to enter beneath Thy shadow that shadoweth
all things.

2 |
Be Thou, O my Lord, my sole Desire, my Goal,
mine only Hope, my constant Aim, my Habitation
and my Sanctuary. Let the object of mine ardent
quest be Thy most resplendent, Thine adorable, and
ever-blessed Beauty. I implore Thee, O my Lord, by
whatsoever is of Thee, to send, from the right hand
of Thy might, that which will exalt Thy loved ones
and abase Thine enemies.

3 |
No God is there beside Thee, Thou alone art my
Beloved in this world and in the world which is to
come. Thou alone art the Desire of all them that have
recognized Thee.

Praised be God, the Lord of the worlds.
