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.
