“Adja Isten! (God Grant That the Light of Unity!)” by Lilla, László, Béla & Laci

In this Baha’i Blog Studio Session, we’re in Budapest, Hungary with Lilla Makay, László Juhász, Béla Munkácsy, and Laci Makay who sing “Adja Isten! (God Grant That the Light of Unity!)” in Hungarian from a passage from the Writings of Baha’u’llah.

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.

This song was filmed and recorded in Budapest, Hungary in April 2023.

Adja Isten, hogy az egység fénye Ragyogtassa be az egész földet, És az „Istené a királyság” jele fényeskedhessék minden nép homlokán!
