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’s “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 Frankfurt, Germany with Omid Gollmer who sings “Dein Name ist meine Heilung (Thy Name Is My Healing)” in German, from the Writings of Baha’u’llah.
This song was filmed and recorded in Frankfurt, Germany, December 2018.
Lyrics & Quote
GERMAN
Dein Name ist meine Heilung, o mein Gott, Dein Gedenken meine Arznei, Deine Nähe meine Hoffnung und die Liebe zu Dir mein Gefährte. Dein Erbarmen ist meine Heilung und Hilfe in beiden Welten, in dieser und der künftigen. Du bist wahrlich der Allgütige, der Allwissende, der Allweise.
Baha’u’llah
ENGLISH
Thy name is my healing, O my God, and remembrance of Thee is my remedy. Nearness to Thee is my hope, and love for Thee is my companion. Thy mercy to me is my healing and my succor in both this world and the world to come. Thou, verily, art the All-Bountiful, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.
Baha’u’llah
