“Egli vi soccorrerà (He will come to your aid)” by Anis & Shideh

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 Genoa, Italy with Anis Mirra and Shideh Massai who sing “Egli vi soccorrerà (He will come to your aid)” in Italian, based on the writings of Abdu’l-Baha.

This song was filmed and recorded in Genoa, Italy, April 2018.

Lyrics & Quotes

Egli vi soccorrerà con invisibili schiere e vi assisterà con eserciti di ispirazione dalle Legioni supreme; dall’eccelso Paradiso vi manderà soavi profumi e aliterà su voi le pure brezze che spirano dai roseti delle Milizie Superne.

Abdu’l-Baha

He will come to your aid with invisible hosts, and support you with armies of inspiration from the Concourse above; He will send unto you sweet perfumes from the highest Paradise, and waft over you the pure breathings that blow from the rose gardens of the Company on high.

Abdu’l-Baha
