Baha’i Blog 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 London, United Kingdom with James Mohajer who sings “O Thou Candle” based on a prayer by Abdu’l-Baha.

This song was filmed and recorded in London, United Kingdom, September 2018.

Here is the quotation used for the lyrics below followed by the quotation and chords:

“O thou candle of the Love of God!
I ask God to grant thee by His favor and grace that which is thy utmost desire; that the closed doors become opened, the uneven roads become even, thy face shine by the love of God, thy sight become brighter 130 by witnessing the signs of God; that thou mayest attain spiritual joy, eternal happiness and heavenly life.”
-Abdu’l-Baha
