Ridvan celebrates Baha’u’llah’s time in 1863 in the garden of Ridvan in Baghdad when He publicly declared His station as a Manifestation of God. The Ridvan Festival is 12 days long and is also the time of year when Baha’is elect their governing bodies.
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 Paris, France with Nicolas, Luna & Anais who sings “O Baha’u’llah” in French, based on a prayer by Abdu’l-Baha.
This song was filmed and recorded in Paris, France, December 2017.
Lyrics & Quote
FRENCH
O Baha’u’llah ! Puisse ma vie etre sacrifiee pour toi ! O Baha’u’llah ! Puisse mon ame etre offerte pour l’amour de toi ! Comme tes jours furent charges d’experiences douloureuses et d’afflictions ! Que penibles furent les epreuves que tu as endurees ! Et combien solides sont les fondations que tu as finalement posees, et que glorieuse est la banniere que tu as hissee!
Abdu’l-Baha
ENGLISH
O Baha’u’llah! May my life be sacrificed for Thee! O Baha’u’llah! May my soul be offered up for Thy sake! How full were Thy days with trials and tribulations! How severe the ordeals Thou didst endure! How solid the foundation Thou hast finally laid, and how glorious the banner Thou didst hoist!
Abdu’l-Baha
