1. Our Lord, our Lord
O Lord, O Master of praise

2. O You of majesty and highness
O You of splendor and loftiness

3. You have encompassed, my Master
all that our love has missed

4. To You belongs the will in all
that which has guided us, resigned

5. Beyond comprehension You rose
though we strained in discipline

6. So the summit for the diligent
is: "Protect us, O Faithful Friend!"

7. That from which we shrank, indeed
'twas but our incapacity

8. For all existence, in its sum
proclaims Your oneness, ev'ry one

9. Reason is dazed by Your creation's glories;
so the prosperous is made certain

10. while the doubters are frustrated
as though they are not present here

11. Damned be those who doubt the Truth
when it is manifest and clear!

12. O First, O Last, O Outward, O Inward
To You belong eternity, to us transience

13. To You belong permanence, to us evanescence
O Living, O Self-Subsisting, unto You we are entrusted

14. So who do we have but You?
Far be it from You to neglect us

15. Far be it from You to forsake us
O Hope of the hopeful

16. O Refuge, be for us a protection
For from You is every excellence

17. and every bounty that reaches us
You have been Bountiful in the past

18. So always increase Your goodness, O Bestower of Favors
brought to naught by evanescence

19. Asking forgiveness for his sin
confessing all his erring ways

20. Ever does he see his need of You
as his eternal sufficiency

21. To Your irresistible dominion he bows down
humble, lowly, yielding

22. Vain desires have tempted him
until he met with disfavor from them

23. He is ruled by the soul's fancies
its passion was but the life of this low world

24. And so to You he comes with his disappointment
in all save You; none else gains his praise

25. With empty hands he reaches out
So grant him the utmost of desires!

26. And cool him with Your good pleasure
with a touch from You, what bliss he'll gain!

27. And give him life in submission to You
and in faith take his soul

28. And on the Day of his arising
make him secure from every fear
