“Glory Be to Thee” by Yalda Ahmadi

September 26, 2023, in Music > Studio Session, by

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 Brisbane, Australia with Yalda Ahmadi who sings “Glory Be to Thee” based on the Writings of Baha’u’llah. 

This song was filmed and recorded in Brisbane, Australia in August 2023.

LYRICS/QUOTE:

Glory be to Thee, O Lord my God! Make manifest the rivers of Thy sovereign might, that the waters of Thy Unity may flow through the inmost realities of all things, in such wise that the banner of Thine unfailing guidance may be raised aloft in the kingdom of Thy command and the stars of Thy divine splendor may shine brightly in the heaven of Thy majesty.

CHORDS:

Em     Am        F            C
Glory be to Thee, O Lord my God!
    Em          Am          C              G
