Study Circle or Deepenings

1
Study Circle

In a garden flowers bloom,
open petal by petal
releasing their scents,
perfuming the world
with the aroma of love.

Flower in a vase
consume the water of life
releasing their scents,
perfuming the room
with the aroma of faith.

Power of Art

Reflecting society
Art's power is in its revelations
Concerning humanity

Waiting Souls:
Encouragement to Proclaim My Faith

Look for waiting souls;
souls waiting to hear the name
of Baha'u'llah.

There is work to do,
so that every city and town
has a local Spiritual Assembly.

Pray for receptive souls,
waiting to hear the good news
of Baha'u'llah.

God's Covenant

The echoes of God's words reverberate,
Beneath the dome of His Ancient Covenant.
Renewed in this age by the Pen of His Glory.

5
Candles of Love

As drop by drop the candle's sacrifice
Feeds the flame of love,
The Holy Spirit flows across the firmament.

Flicker by flicker the flame of love,
Is reflected from the Dome of God's Cause,
As the Holy Spirit flows across the world,
The voice of God's lover reverberate
Beneath the dome of His Covenant.

Tear by tear the candle's sacrifice,
Feeds the flame of love,
And atom by atom voices of faith reverberate
Across the planet Earth.

Candle's Sacrifice

Drop by drop
A candle spends its life
So that its light will shine

7
Work To Do

We must make sure that
Every city
Every town
In the world has a Spiritual Assembly.

We have work to do,
And waiting souls to find.
