LII: "Lauded be Thy name, O my God! I entreat Thee..."
| |
1 |
Lauded be Thy name, O my God! I entreat Thee by the fragrances of the Raiment of Thy grace
which at Thy bidding and in conformity with Thy
desire were diffused throughout the entire creation,
and by the Day-Star of Thy will that hath shone
brightly, through the power of Thy might and of
Thy sovereignty, above the horizon of Thy mercy,
to blot out from my heart all idle fancies and vain
imaginings, that with all my affections I may turn
unto Thee, O Thou Lord of all mankind!
| |
2 |
I am Thy servant and the son of Thy servant,
O my God! I have laid hold on the handle of Thy
grace, and clung to the cord of Thy tender mercy.
Ordain for me the good things that are with Thee,
and nourish me from the Table Thou didst send down
out of the clouds of Thy bounty and the heaven of
Thy favor.

3 |
Thou, in very truth, art the Lord of the worlds,
and the God of all that are in heaven and all that are
on earth.
