2 NATURE OF GOD.

ON THE TRIUNE NATURE OF GOD.

Its the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, one God. O God, we rejoice in Thy mercy in truth and right.

f. 102 a

Praise be to God before whom nothing was, and who was before everything, after whom there is nothing, and He is the heir of all things, and to Him all things return, who by His knowledge kept the knowledge of all things, and nothing but His work is sufficient for this, in whose knowledge is the end of all things, and He counts everything by His knowledge. We ask Thee, O God, by Thy mercy and Thy power to put us among those who know Thy truth and follow Thy will and [fear] Thy wrath and adore Thy excellent names in Thy sublime attributes. Thou art the compassionate, the merciful; seated upon the throne Thou art worthy; Thou art higher than the creatures and Thou fillest all things. Thou doest good and art not done good to; Thou judgest and art not Judged; Thou art rich towards us and we are poor towards Thee. Thou art near to those who approach Thee; Thou answerest those who call on Thee and implore Thee. Thou, O God, art Lord of all things, God of all things, Creator of all things. Open our mouths, loosen our tongues, soften our hearts, and open our breasts to the praise of Thy noble and high and great and blessed and holy name. Verily there is no god before Thee, and no god after Thee. To Thee (shall we] return; Thou art the Almighty. To Thee be the praise, O God, Creator of the heavens and the earth, and of all that is therein by Thy Word and Thy Spirit.

f. 102 b

To Thee be the praise, O God, who dwellest in light, Creator of the angels and the spirit that they may adore Thy name, Thy holy name; for the message of Thy name and for the authority of Thy power, and they do not weary of Thy majesty and Thy holiness, saying, Holy, holy, holy is the mighty Lord, who filleth the heavens and the earth with His honour. Verily they adore Thee, and set their seal to one Lord,
