Thy Name Is My Healing

remembrance of Thee is my remedy. Nearness
to Thee is my hope and love for Thee is my
companion. Thy mercy to me is my healing
and my succor in both this world and the
world to come. Thou, verily, are the AllBountiful, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.
• Glory be to Thee, O Lord my God! I implore Thee by Thy Name, through which Thou
didst lift up the ensigns of Thy guidance, and didst shed the radiance of Thy lovingkindness, and didst reveal the sovereignty of Thy Lordship; through which the lamp
of Thy names hath appeared within the niche of Thine attributes, and He Who is
the Tabernacle of Thy unity and the Manifestation of detachment hath shone
forth; through which the ways of Thy guidance were made known, and the paths of
Thy good pleasure were marked out; though which the foundations of error have
been made to tremble, and the signs of wickedness have been abolished; through
which the fountains of wisdom have burst forth, and the heavenly table hath been
sent down; through which Thou didst preserve Thy servants and didst vouchsafe
Thy healing; through which Thou didst show forth Thy tender mercies unto Thy
servants and revealedst Thy forgiveness amidst Thy creatures. I implore Thee to
keep safe him who hath held fast and returned unto Thee, and clung to Thy mercy,
and seized the hem of Thy loving providence. Send down, then upon him Thy
healing, and make him whole, and endue him with a constancy vouchsafed by
Thee, and a tranquillity bestowed by Thy highness.

the All- Glorious, the All-Knowing.

by the splendors of the Daystar of Thy grace, and by Thy Name
through which Thou didst subdue Thy servants, and by the
pervasive power of Thy most exalted Word and the potency of
Thy most august Pen, and by Thy mercy that hath preceded
the creation of all who are in heaven and on earth, to purge
me with the waters of Thy bounty from every affliction and
disorder, and from all weakness and feebleness. Thou seest, O
my Lord, Thy suppliant waiting at the door of Thy bounty, and
him who hath set his hopes on Thee clinging to the cord of Thy
generosity. Deny him not, I beseech Thee, the things he
seeketh from the ocean of Thy grace and the Daystar of Thy
loving-kindness.
• Powerful art Thou to do what pleaseth Thee. There is none
other God save Thee, the Ever- Forgiving, the Most Generous.
