Glorified Art Thou, O Lord My God! I Give Thee

Sources: Prayers And Meditations

Glorified art Thou, O Lord my God! I give Thee thanks inasmuch as Thou

hast called me into being in Thy days, and infused into me Thy love and

Thy knowledge. I beseech Thee, by Thy name whereby the goodly pearls of

Thy wisdom and Thine utterance were brought forth out of the treasuries of

the hearts of such of Thy servants as are nigh unto Thee, and through

which the Day-Star of Thy name, the Compassionate, hath shed its radiance
/>
upon all that are in Thy heaven and on Thy earth, to supply me, by Thy

grace and bounty, with Thy wondrous and hidden bounties.



These are the earliest days of my life, O my God, which Thou hast linked

with Thine own days. Now that Thou hast conferred upon me so great an

honor, withhold not from me the things Thou hast ordained for Thy chosen

ones.



I am, O my God, but a tiny seed which Thou hast sown in the soil of Thy

love, and caused to spring forth by the hand of Thy bounty. This seed

craveth, therefore, in its inmost being, for the waters of Thy mercy and

the living fountain of Thy grace. Send down upon it, from the heaven of

Thy loving-kindness, that which will enable it to flourish beneath Thy

shadow and within the borders of Thy court. Thou art He Who watereth the

hearts of all that have recognized Thee from Thy plenteous stream and the

fountain of Thy living waters.



Praised be God, the Lord of the worlds.
