Thou art the Powerful

Morning Prayer
05:27
|
|||
|
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 God, with the splendors of the Dayspring
of Thy Revelation
even as thou didst illumine my outer being with the morning light
of Thy favor

Vouchsafe

Vouchsafe, O Best Beloved of the World, a ray of Thy Splendour
Yá ‘Alíyyu’l-‘Alá
Yá Bahá’u’l-Abhá,
Allah-u-Abhá
Yá ‘Alíyyu’l-‘Alá
Yá Bahá’u’l-Abhá,
These are Thy servants bowed down before Thine exalted Utterance
These are Thy loyal bondsmen and Thy handmaidens who responded to Thy Call
Hearts quivering with love they responded to Thy Call
Out of the deep pools of Thine abounding Grace
Make Thou this garden to flower
Out of the deep pools of Thine abounding Grace
Keep it ever green, ever shimmering and fair
|

Lighted Candle

O Thou our Provider! Send down Thine aid
That each one gathered here may become a lighted candle
Till at last we make this nether world the mirror image of Thy Paradise.

Passionately Wandering
04:37
|
|||
|
O my God! O my God! This, Thy servant, hath advanced towards Thee
Is passionately wandering in the desert of Thy love
Anticipating Thy favors, hoping for Thy bounty, relying upon Thy kingdom
Intoxicated by the wine of Thy gift

Light and Life

|
|||
|
Glory be to Thee, O God, for Thy manifestation of love to mankind!
O Thou Who art our Life and Light, guide Thy servants in Thy way
And make us rich in Thee and free from all save thee.
Teach us Thy Oneness and give us a realization of Thy Unity
That we may see no one save Thee, O Thou art the merciful and the Giver of bounty!
O God, my God
Reveal to us, O God, Thine exalted eternity
That Thou hast ever been and will ever be
O Thou Who art our Life and Light, guide Thy servants in Thy way
And make us rich in Thee and free from all save thee.
O God, my God
My beloved
My heart's desire
O God create in the hearts of Thy beloved the fire of Thy Love
That it may consume the thought of everything save Thee
And there is no God save Thee
Verily, in Thee will we find comfort and strength.

Hollow Reed
04:06
|
|||
|
O God make me a hollow reed
From which the pith of self hath been blown
That I may become a clear channel
Though which Thy love may flow unto others
|
||||
8. |
||||
|
Create in me a pure heart, O my God,
And renew a tranquil conscience within me, O my Hope
And let the breezes of Thine eternity gladden me, o Thou Who art my God
Let Thine everlasting melodies breathe tranquillity on me
O Thou Who art the most manifest of the manifest
And the most hidden of the hidden
Yá Bahá’u’l-Abhá!
|

Threading Lights
04:01
|
|||
|
Make Thou this marriage to be as threading lights
Make Thou this marriage to be as luminous rays of Thy bestowals
These two bright orbs are wedded in Thy love
United in ministering to Thy Cause
Verily Thou Art the Generous
Verily Thou Art the Almighty
Verily Thou Art the Compassionate
|

May there be
03:03
|
|||
|
May there be no resistance in me to lose myself in the oneness of all
May there be only yearning in me for You, my God, the unity of all
May there be only yearning for Thee, the Ancient Beauty, eternal in all
Let go, just let go
In the oneness of all
|

Midnight prayer
04:47
|
|||
|
O Lord, I have turned my face unto Thy kingdom of oneness
And am immersed in the sea of Thy mercy
O Lord, enlighten my sight by beholding Thy lights
In this dark night
And make me happy by the wine of Thy love
In this wonderful age
O Lord, make me hear Thy call, and open before my face
The doors of Thy heaven, so that I may see
The light of Thy glory
and become attracted to Thy beauty.
Verily, Thou art the Giver, the Generous,
the Merciful, the Forgiving.
‘Abdu’l-Bahá

So in Love
03:42
|
|||
|
Drifting on Your ocean of stars
I am immersed in Your light
Breathing in the fragrance of Your Love
I call on You to give me flight
I'm so in love, I'm so in love, I'm so in love with You
You dance at the heart of all I know
Dancing in your forest of dreams
I am entranced by Your mysteries
Chasing after sparkling sunbeams
Resting in shade of ancient trees
I'm so in love, I'm so in love, I'm so in love with You
You dance at the heart of all I know
O Bahá’u’lláh
