Glory Be To Thee, O Lord My God! Abase Not Him

Sources: Prayers And Meditations

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?



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?



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.
