Baha'i Prayer

PRAYER REVEALED BY BAHÁ’U’LLÁH TO BE Read DURING THE FAST, 
Cause us to drink from the River of the Kawthar of Thine Eternity,
O our GOD!
Cause us to taste the Fruits of the Tree of Thine Identity,
O our Hope!
Cause us to quaff the Clear Water of the Fountain of Thy Love,
O our Bahá!
Cause us to dwell in the Abode of Thine Everlasting Mercy,
O our Light!
Cause us to walk in the Garden of the Nearness of Thy Presence,
O our Beloved!
Cause us to sit on the Right-Hand of the Throne of Thy Bounty,
O our Desire!
Send unto us the Fragrant Breezes of Thy Joy,
O our Aim!
Cause us to attain to the Summit of the Paradise of Thy Reality,
O our Adored One!
Cause us to hear the Melodies of the Dove of Unity,
O Thou Whom we behold!
Quicken us through the Spirit of Power and Might,
O our Sustainer!
In the Spirit of Thy Love make us steadfast,
O our Assister!
In the Path of Thy Good-Pleasure make us firm,
O our Restorer!
Cause us to be Sheltered in the Everlasting Ridván, before Thy Countenance,
O our Merciful One!
Cause us to sit on the Throne of Thy Might,
O our Master!
Cause us to ascend to the Heaven of Thy Providence,
O our Awakener!
Direct us unto the Sun of Thy Guidance,
O our Attractor!
Cause us to present ourselves before the Appearance of Thine Invisible Oneness,
O our Origin and our Hope!
Cause us to return to the Pure River of Beauty in the One Whom Thou hast Manifested,
O our GOD!
For verily, Thou art Powerful to do whatsoever Thou Willest!
Thou art the Mighty, the Exalted!
