Bahá'u'lláh — Prayers and Meditations by Bahá'u'lláh · source
“Glorified art Thou, O Lord my God! Every time I venture to make mention of Thee, I am held back by the realization of the immensity of Thy glory and the greatness of Thy power. Were I to attempt to magnify Thy praise to the extent it deserveth, mine inadequacy and weakness would prevent me from achieving such a thing.”
Bahá'u'lláh — Prayers and Meditations by Bahá'u'lláh · source
“Magnified be Thy name, O Lord my God! Thou art He Whom all things worship and Who worshippeth no one, Who is the Lord of every thing and is the vassal of none, Who knoweth all things and is known of none.”
Bahá'u'lláh — Tablets of Bahá'u'lláh, Lawḥ-i-Karmil (Tablet of Carmel) · source
“All glory be to this Day, the Day in which the fragrances of mercy have been wafted over all created things, a Day so blest that past ages and centuries can never hope to rival it, a Day in which the countenance of the Ancient of Days hath turned towards His holy seat.”
