From Prayers of 'Abdu'l-Baha

(read by Kai Mills-Tettey at the cremation on 4th August 2023)

O Thou Provider, O Thou Forgiver! A noble soul hath ascended unto the Kingdom of reality, and hastened from the mortal world of dust to the realm of ever-lasting glory. Exalt the station of this recently arrived guest, and attire this long-standing servant with a new and wondrous robe.

O Thou Peerless Lord! Grant Thy forgiveness and tender care so that this soul may be admitted into the retreats of Thy mysteries and may become an intimate companion in the assemblage of spendours. Thou art the Giver, the Bestower, the Ever-Loving. Thou art the Pardoner, The Tender, the Most Powerful.
