In 1844, Siyyid Ali-Muhammad (known by His title, the Bab, which means "the Gate") announced that He was the bearer of a Divine Revelation whose aim was to prepare the world for a Messenger of God--Baha'u'llah. The anniversary of that declaration is celebrated by Baha'is and their friends all over the world.
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 Chicago, USA with Savva, Danika, Lauren, Adeeb and Jeremy singing “Peoples of the World”, based on the Writings of Baha’u’llah.
This song was filmed and recorded in Chicago, USA, December, 2018.
Here is the quotation used for the song, followed by the lyrics and chords below:
Quotes & Lyrics
“O ye peoples of the world… put their trust in God, and, holding fast unto Him, follow in His way. Then will they be made worthy of the effulgent glories of the sun of divine knowledge and understanding, and become the recipients of a grace that is infinite and unseen…”
-Baha’u’llah
*NOTE: Please note that in this song the word ‘your’ was used instead of ‘their’ as noted in the lyrics.
Peoples of the World Put your [their] trust in God And holding fast unto him follow in his way
Then will they be made worthy of the effulgent glories of the sun of divine knowledge and understanding and become the recipients of a grace that is infinite and unseen
