Mausoleum of The Bab: The Queen of Carmel

Mausoleum of The Bab:
The Queen of Carmel

lyrics  

Halfway up the Mountain
the Queen of Carmel stands
her golden crown reflecting
the Glory of the Lord.

Surrounded by verdant gardens
she looks across the bay,
calling out to Zion,
she proclaims God's new day:
"The Day of Revelation."

Robed in white,
she beckons
to humanity
to ascend Carmel Mountain
and enter the arc of unity1.
