Fleeting Moment – European Baha’i Choral Festival 2019

“Fleeting Moment” is the fourth song from the European Baha’i Choral Festival that was held from May 29 – June 2, 2019 at the Baha’i House of Worship in Langenhain, Germany. This English song was composed and conducted by Lorraine Manifold and is based on a Hidden Word by Baha’u’llah.

Lyrics & Quote

Live then the days of thy life, that are less than a fleeting moment, with thy mind stainless, and thy heart unsullied. Live then the days of thy life, that are less than a fleeting moment, so that free and content, thou wilt put away this mortal frame, and fly to the mystic paradise and abide in the eternal realm, forever more.

Baha’u’llah
