Magnified be Thy name, O my God, for that
Thou hast manifested the Day which is
the King of Days, the Day which Thou didst announce
unto Thy chosen Ones and Thy Prophets
in Thy most excellent Tablets, the Day whereon
Thou didst shed the splendor of the glory of all
Thy names upon all created things. Great is his
blessedness whosoever hath set himself towards
Thee, and entered Thy presence, and caught the
accents of Thy voice.

2 |
I beseech Thee, O my Lord, by the name of
Him round Whom circleth in adoration the kingdom
of Thy names, that Thou wilt graciously assist
them that are dear to Thee to glorify Thy word
among Thy servants, and to shed abroad Thy
praise amidst Thy creatures, so that the ecstasies
of Thy revelation may fill the souls of all the dwellers
of Thine earth.

3 |
Since Thou hast guided them, O my Lord, unto
the living waters of Thy grace, grant, by Thy
bounty, that they may not be kept back from
Thee; and since Thou hast summoned them to the
habitation of Thy throne, drive them not out
from Thy presence, through Thy loving-kindness.
Send down upon them what shall wholly detach
them from aught else except Thee, and make them
able to soar in the atmosphere of Thy nearness, in
such wise that neither the ascendancy of the oppressor
nor the suggestions of them that have disbelieved
in Thy most august and most mighty Self
shall be capable of keeping them back from Thee.
- Bahá'u'lláh
