Vision
04:02
|
|||
Those who chant the verses of the Merciful,
in the most melodious tones,
will attain unto that/ the kingdom of earth and heaven
can never compare.
They will inhale therefrom/ the fragrance of my realm
which none can discern in this day
save those who have been granted ......Vision.
By this sublime Beauty....
say verily the verses of the merciful /uplift the stainless hearts...
unto those realms of spirit /which cannot be described in words
or expressed in symbols...
blessed are they the harken.......... to the Vision

Burning Bush
03:30
|
|||
There's a burning bush on a mountain in central Asia....
And all the broken idols , lie scattered on the ground
There's a burning bush in Central Asia, And a broken tablet lying on the ground
There's a spreading tree in a small town in Northern India
And underneath that tree was a man who found The Way
There's a reading tree in Northern India
Now see the twisted branches in dis-array
There's a cycle moon and star in the sky over Central Arabia
The prophet taught the people , how to stop the fights
There a cycle moon and star over Arabia
But the people fight each other just the same
There's a wooden cross on a hill in Jerusalem
And here the Son of God cried out in His despair
There's a wooden cross on a hill in Jerusalem
Now so many mothers sons are in despair
Now there are twin stars , shining in the heavens
The Bab and Baha'u'llah shine for us the way
Now there are twin stars shining in the heavens
The light from these twin stars guides us today
The purpose of the soul , is to make connection
With 'He ,whom God , will make manifest"
The purpose of the soul is to make connection
With the Messengers sent to us for this Age

The Fountain
03:56
|
|||
The fountain of generosity is gushing forth..
But we must have thirst for the living waters...
Unless there be thirst, ..the salutary waters will not flow..
Unless the soul hungers ,delicious food of the Heavenly table
Will not give sustanence
Unless the eye of perception , be open
The lights of the sun will not be witnessed
Unless the nostrils are purified ,, the fragrance of
The divine rose garden will not be inhaled
Unless the heart is longing ...the favours of the Lord will not be evident..
The fountain of divine generosity x 2
The ocean of salubrious waters is surging If we be not thirsty
What benefit do we receive
If the candle be lighted and we have no eyes
What enjoyment do we attain from it?
If melodious anthems should rise up ...up to the heavens
And we are bereft of hearing ..what enjoyment can we find
The fountain of divine generosity x 2
The fountain of generosity is gushing forth
But we must have thirst for the living waters

At All Times
04:52
|
|||
At all times do I speak of you ...and call you to mind......
I pray unto the Lord......And with tears I implore Him to rain down
All these blessings upon you .....And glades your hearts
And make blissful your souls
And grant you exceeding joy and heavenly delights
Thus I exhort each one of you...To sacrifice all your thoughts
All your thoughts words and action too
To bring the knowledge of the love of God into every heart
To bring the knowledge of the love of God into every heart

Broken Winged Bird
03:30
|
|||
O God O God Thou seest my weakness
lowliness and humility...among the servants, nevertheless,
I have trusted in Thee...I have arisen in the promotion of Thy teachings Among Thy strong servants .
Relying on Thy power and might
O Lord I am a broken winged bird......
O Lord I'm a broken winged bird
And desire to soar in Thy limitless space .
How is it possible for me to do this
Save through Thy providence and grace.....
O Lord have pity on my weakness and strengthen me with Thy power
Have pity on my impotence
And strengthen me with Thy might and majesty...
Whereas before I was a moth...Make me a royal facon...
Whereas before I was a brook....make me as a might sea..
Through Thy bestowals and Thy bounty ....

He is the Compassionate
04:14
|
|||
He is the compassionate .....the all-bountiful.......
O God my God ....Thou knows me Thou seest me
Thou art my haven and my refuge / none other have I sought
Nor any will I seek save Thee
No path have I trod / Nor any will I tread
But the path of Thy Love
And in the darksome night ...of despair My eye turners
Expectant full of hope
To the morn of Thy boundless favour
And at the hour of dawn.....My drooping soul ..
.is refreshed and strengthened
In remembrance of Thy beauty and perfection
He home the grace....of Thy mercy aideth
Though he be but a drop ...Shall become the boundless ocean
And the merest atom ...which the outpouring
of Thy loving kindness assisteth
Shall shine even as....The radiant star
Shelter under Thy protection ...O Thou spirit of purity
Thou who art ....The all-bountiful provider
This enthralled ....Enkindled servant of Thine
Aid him in this world of being
To remain steadfast and firm .....In Thy Love
And grant this broken winged bird,
gain a refuge and a shelter,
in Thy divine nest which abides upon....... the celestial tree.....

Indulge not
03:20
|
|||
Indulge not your bodies with rest ...but work with all your souls.....
And with all your hearts cry out .....cry out and beg of God
To grant you His succour and grace....His succour and grace
CH
Thus may you make this world ....the Abha paradise
And this globe of Earth...the parade ground of
The realm on hight
If only you exert ...the effort it is certain
That these splendours will shine out
These clouds of mercy will shed down
Shed down their rain
These life giving winds will rise and blow
This sweet smelling musk ...will be scattered far and wide
CH
Thus may you make this world ...The Abha paradise
And this globe of Earth ...the parade ground of
The realm on high

Undying Love
04:39
|
|||
I will never leave you ..I hold you in my heart..
I do love you dearly and hope we never part...
Though in time I may die....... but still my soul goes on..
Wherever I may journey your memory comes along ...
And though I live yet again....a hundred lifetimes more...
I will aways love you ,...you've touched me to the core...
CH
Undying love,.......that's what I feel for you ...
Undying love is this a dream come true..
Undying love that flows to me from you...my spirit is renewed...
I will never leave you although you're always free to go ...
And if I ever choose to ,....still you'd love me so....
You have touched my very soul .....your love has shone it's light..
Into the darkest parts of me / and healed my lonely plight...
Never shall I be the same for I have learned true wealth
Thank you for teaching me to love you and to serve you
Above myself

Shield the Servants
02:54
|
|||
Shield Thy trusted servants from errors of self and passion....
Protect them with the wasteful eye ...of Thy loving kindness,
From all rancour hate and envy...
Shelter them in the impregnable
Stronghold of Thy love..and safe from the darts of doubtfulness...
Make them the manifestations of
Thy glorious signs..
Illumen their faces,..........with the effulgent rays
Shed from the despairing of Thy divine bounty...
Gladden their hearts.... with the verses revealed from
From Thy holy kingdom...strengthen their loins
With Thy all-swaying power...power that comes from
The realms of Thy glory
Thou art the All-bountifull, the Protector the Almighty..
The Gracious

Pitiful Are We
02:58
|
|||
Lord Pitiful are we...grant us Thy favour...
Poor, bestow upon us... a measure from the ocean of Thy wealth...
Needy, satisfy us....abased, give us Thy glory...
The fowls of the air the beasts of the field
Receive their meat each day from Thee
And all beings partake...... of Thy loving kindness...
Deprive not this lowly one ..........of Thy wondrous grace
And vouchsafe by Thy might
Unto this helpless soul Thy bounty.....
Give us our daily bread .....and grant Thine increase
In the necessities of life...
That we may be dependent on none other than Thee...
May commune wholly with Thee, .....may walk in Thy ways
And declare your mysteries...Thou art the loving provider
Of all Mankind...Lord pitiful are we
Grant us Thy favour

Morning Prayer
02:14
|
|||
I have risen this morning....by Thy grace O my God
And leave my home trusting ...wholly in Thee
And committing my self...... to Thy care....
Send down then upon me...Out of the heaven of Thy mercy
A blessing from Thy side...And enable me
To return home in safety ..even as Thou didst
Enable me to set out ....Under Thy protection
With my thoughts fixed steadfastly ..Upon Thee
There is no other God but The ...The One the Incomparable
There is no other God but Thee
The All-knowing ....The All-wise

I believe in one God,
The ones of mankind..
Tthe independent investigation of truth...
The common foundation of all religions..
The essential harmony of science and faith..
The equality of women and men,
The elimination of prejudice of all kinds...
Universal, compulsory education...
A spiritual solution to the money woes of the world..
A universal auxiliary language..
Universal peace upheld by a world government.
The equality of women and men
The elimination of prejudice of all kind
Universal , compulsory, education
A spiritual solution to the money woes of the world
Universal auxiliary language
Universal peace upheld by a world government
And I believe.....One God...
And I believe....one mankind
And I believe...seeking truth independently
And I believe...one Faith
And I believe...Harmony
And I believe...equality of women and men
And I believe...No prejudice
And I believe...Education
A solution to the economy
And I believe...One tongue
And I believe...Universal peace upheld by the parliament of man
I believe ...thus it is written by
The pen of the Merciful......
