Na Bahá’u’lláh

I have wakened in Thy shelter, O

my God, and it becometh him that

seeketh that shelter to abide within the

Sanctuary of Thy protection and the

Stronghold of Thy defense. Illumine

my inner being, O my Lord, with the

splendors of the Dayspring of Thy

Revelation, even as Thou didst illumine

my outer being with the morning light

of Thy favor.

— Bahá’u’lláh
