“Du vertreibst alle Qual (Remover of Every Anguish)” by Omid & Ariella

Baha’i Blog’s “Studio Sessions” is an initiative where we invite Baha’is and their friends from around the world to come into a studio and share the Baha’i Writings put to music.

In this Baha’i Blog Studio Session, we’re in Frankfurt, Germany with Omid Gollmer and Ariella Horton who sing “Du vertreibst alle Qual (Remover of Every Anguish)” in German, from the Writings of the Bab.

This song was filmed and recorded in Frankfurt, Germany, December 2018.

Lyrics & Quote

GERMAN

O Herr! Du vertreibst alle Qual und zerstreust jeden Kummer. Du bannst jedes Leid und befreist jeden Sklaven, Du erlösest jede Seele. O Herr! Errette mich durch Dein Erbarmen und zähle mich zu denen Deiner Diener, die das Heil erlangen.

The Bab

ENGLISH

O Lord! Thou art the Remover of every anguish and the Dispeller of every affliction. Thou art He Who banisheth every sorrow and setteth free every slave, the Redeemer of every soul. O Lord! Grant deliverance through Thy mercy and reckon me among such servants of Thine as have gained salvation.
