"Glory be to Thee, O Lord my God! Abase not..."
| |
1 |
Glory be to Thee, O Lord my God! Abase not
him whom Thou hast exalted through the
power of Thine everlasting sovereignty, and remove
not far from Thee him whom Thou hast
caused to enter the tabernacle of Thine eternity.
Wilt Thou cast away, O my God, him whom
thou hast overshadowed with Thy Lordship, and
wilt Thou turn away from Thee, O my Desire,
him to whom Thou hast been a refuge? Canst
Thou degrade him whom Thou hast uplifted, or
forget him whom Thou didst enable to remember
Thee?

2 |
Glorified, immensely glorified art Thou! Thou
art He Who from everlasting hath been the King
of the entire creation and its Prime Mover, and
Thou wilt to everlasting remain the Lord of all
created things and their Ordainer. Glorified art
thou, O my god! If Thou ceasest to be merciful
unto Thy servants, who, then, will show mercy
unto them; and if Thou refusest to succor thy
loved ones, who is there that can succor them?
| |
3 |
Glorified, immeasurably glorified art Thou!
Thou art adored in Thy truth, and Thee do we all,
verily, worship; and Thou art manifest in Thy
justice, and to Thee do we all, verily, bear witness.
Thou art, in truth, beloved in Thy grace. No
God is there but Thee, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting.
- Bahá'u'lláh
