Lauded be Thy name, O Lord my God! Thou dost witness that
Thy will hath prevailed over all created things, and Thy mercy hath surpassed
all who are in heaven and on earth. And when Thou didst purpose to unveil Thy
sovereignty, and to glorify Thy word, and to reveal Thy bounteousness and
mercy, Thou didst raise up one of Thy servants, and didst choose Him above all
Thy creatures, and didst single Him out for Thy purpose, and didst clothe Him
with the robe of Thy guidance, and didst immerse Him beneath the seas of Thy
majesty and grandeur, and didst sanctify Him from all that beseemeth not the
greatness of Thy glory and the power of Thy might, and didst bid Him to cry out
before all that are in heaven and on earth, and summon the multitudes to the
Manifestation of Thy Self and the Revealer of Thy signs.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Prayers
and Meditations by Baha’u’llah’)
