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 Auckland, New Zealand with Grant Hindin Miller who sings “O Son of Dust” from the Writings of Baha’u’llah.
You can also watch the recording of this song on Baha’i Blog’s YouTube channel here:

This song was filmed and recorded in Auckland, New Zealand, September 2017.
Here is the quotation used for the lyrics below followed by the quotation and chords:
“O SON OF DUST! Blind thine eyes, that thou mayest behold My beauty; stop thine ears, that thou mayest hearken unto the sweet melody of My voice; empty thyself of all learning, that thou mayest partake of My knowledge; and sanctify thyself from riches, that thou mayest obtain a lasting share from the ocean of My eternal wealth. Blind thine eyes, that is, to all save My beauty; stop thine ears to all save My word; empty thyself of all learning save the knowledge of Me; that with a clear vision, a pure heart and an attentive ear thou mayest enter the court of My holiness.”
– Baha’u’llah
