O my Lord, my Hope! [1]
Thanks be unto Thee for these foods and benefits. O Lord!
Suffer us to ascend to Thy Kingdom and to sit at the tables of thy divine
world. Nourish us with the food of Thy meeting and cause us to attain to the
sweetness of beholding Thy beauty, forasmuch as this is the utmost wish, the
mightiest gift and the greatest bestowal. O Lord, O Lord! Make this feasible
unto us. Verily Thou art the Beneficent, the Giver! Verily Thou art the
Bestower, the Mighty, the Merciful.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha ('Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha,
vol. 1')
