Husband
O God, my God! This Thy handmaid is calling upon
Thee, trusting in Thee, turning her face unto Thee, imploring Thee to shed thy
heavenly bounties upon her, and to disclose unto her Thy spiritual mysteries,
and to cast upon her the lights of Thy Godhead.
O my Lord! Make the eyes of my husband to
see. Rejoice Thou his heart with the light of the knowledge of Thee, draw
Thou his mind unto Thy luminous beauty, cheer Thou his spirit by revealing unto
him Thy manifest splendors.
O my Lord! Lift Thou the veil from before
his sight. Rain down Thy plenteous bounties upon him, intoxicate him with
the wine of love for Thee, make him one of Thy angels whose feet walk upon this
earth even as their souls are soaring through the high heavens. Cause him
to become a brilliant lamp, shining out with the light of Thy wisdom in the
midst of Thy people.
Verily, Thou art the Precious, the
Ever-Bestowing, the Open of Hand. –Abdufl-Baha
