Celebrating the Birth of Baha'u'llah

Celebrating the Birth of Baha'u'llah

Bright is the splendor of God's ancient faith,
Again in this age renewed.
Hope was resurrected when The Bab and Baha'u'llah,
Appeared in the darkness of Persia.

Justice, the glory of God's ancient covenant,
Assist in establishing peace,
And lets humanity view each of His Divine Prophets,
As the exponents of His ancient faith;
Allows individuals to deal equitably with each other.

King of all words is the Word of God,
As revealed through the Holy Spirit;
Love and unity is religion's essence,
And is inherent in God's ancient faith.
It reveals humanity's abilities, worth and station,
While answering all of our queries,
On how to know and love God.

Illuminated through the knowledge of God,
Led by His most recent Manifestation,
Humanity has begun a new phase of evolution.

Hymn Celebrating the Birth of Baha'u'llah:
November 12, 1817

Children of the Book, rejoice!
Raise your voices in thanksgiving and praise
For He who is God's Glory
Was born on this auspicious day.

Children of the Book, sing!
Let your voices ring with God's Most Great Name,
For He wo ancient scripture foretold
Has come accompanied by ten thousand saints.

Children of the Book, shout!
In unity call Allah-u-Abha,
For He who is humanity's salvation
Marches with ten thousand angels.
