Far be it from the sublimity of Thy Being, O my God, that anyone
seek Thy loving-kindness or favour. Far be it from Thy transcendent glory that
anyone entreat Thee for the evidences of Thy bestowals and tender mercy. Too
high art Thou for any soul to beseech the revelation of Thy gracious providence
and loving care, and too sanctified is Thy glory for anyone to beg of Thee the
outpourings of Thy blessings and of Thy heavenly bounty and grace. Throughout
Thy kingdom of heaven and earth, which is endowed with manifold bounties, Thou
art immeasurably glorified above aught whereunto any identity could be
ascribed.
