He is God!
O Thou kind Lord!

Though we are but Thy humble servants,
     endear us in Thine eternal Kingdom.
Though we are poor,
     enrich us through Thy heavenly Treasury.
Though we are ignorant,
     inform us of Thy mysteries.
We are dead,
     quicken us with the breaths of the Holy Spirit.
We are extinguished,
     set us ablaze with the Fire of Thy love.
O God! Look not upon our capacity,
     nay rather deal with us in accordance with
Thine infinite bounty.
Suffer the drop to become an ocean and the seed a harvest.
Verily, Thou art the Giver, the Generous, and the Mighty!
