He is God, the Mighty, the Most High

Glorified art Thou, O my God! At this moment I desire to remember Thee with the remembrance of them that are sanctified, and to praise Thee with the praise of them that are near unto Thee, though I know that whatsoever mention proceedeth from any save Thee can never attain unto Thee, nor ascend to the court of Thy eternal might, nor mount unto the heaven of Thy primordial majesty. And though I know that none is able to praise Thee with any praise wherewith Thou hast not praised Thyself aforetime, yet glorified, glorified art Thou above every wondrous mention and every beauteous praise!

Therefore, do Thou send Thy blessings upon the First Light that shone forth from Thy Being, and gleamed from the Essence of Thy Self, and beamed from the Sun of Thy Oneness, and dawned from the Moon of Thy creation, and upon them that have believed in Thee and in Thy signs and have done all that Thou lovest, for in Thy hands is the kingdom of all things. Verily, Thou art powerful over all things.
