Glory
be to Thee, O my God!
Thou
hearest Thine ardent lovers lamenting in their separation
from Thee, and such as have recognized Thee wailing because
of their remoteness from Thy presence.
Open
Thou outwardly to their faces, O my Lord, the gates of Thy
grace, that they may enter them by Thy leave and in conformity
with Thy will, and may stand before the throne of Thy majesty,
and catch the accents of Thy voice, and be illumined with
the splendors of the light of Thy face.
Potent
art Thou to do what pleaseth Thee. None can withstand the
power of Thy sovereign might.
From
everlasting Thou wert alone, with none to equal Thee, and
wilt unto everlasting remain far above all thought and every
description of Thee.
Have
mercy, then, upon Thy servants by Thy grace and bounty,
and suffer them not to be kept back from the shores of the
ocean of Thy nearness.
If
Thou abandonest them, who is there to befriend them; and
if Thou puttest them far from Thee, who is he that can favor
them?
They
have none other Lord beside Thee, none to adore except Thyself.
Deal Thou generously with them by Thy bountiful grace.
Thou,
in truth, art the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Compassionate.
