With Great Humbleness and Entire Devotion, I Pray to Thee

1. O Compassionate God, thanks be to Thee, for thou hast awakened me and made me conscious.
2. O God my God, Thou art my hope and my Beloved, my highest aim and desire. With great humbleness and entire devotion, I pray to Thee to make me a minaret of Thy love.
3. O Thou kind Lord, from the horizon of detachment Thou hast manifested souls that, even as the shining moon shed radiance upon the realm of heart and soul...
4. Retrace your steps, O My servants, and incline your hearts to Him who is the source of your creation.
5. O Thou whose face is the object of my adoration, whose beauty is my sanctuary, whose habitation is my goal, whose praise is my hope, whose providence is my companion...
6. O God, my God, shield Thy trusted servants from the eviols of self and passion...
7. O Thou kind Lord, graciously bestow a pair of heavenly wings unto each of these fledglings and give them spiritual power, that they may wing their flight through this limitless space and may soar to the heights of the Abha Kingdom.
8. O My servants! Deprive not yourselves of the unfading and resplendent light that shineth within the lamp of divine glory.
