“Haz Radiante (Make Radiant)” by the Choir of the Baha’i Temple of South America

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 Santiago, Chile with the Choir of the Baha’i Temple of South America singing “Haz Radiante (Make Radiant)” from a prayer by Abdu’l-Baha.

This song was filmed and recorded in Santiago, Chile on 26 May, 2019, and it was composed by Pierre Weber.

Quote

SPANISH

¡Oh, Señor! Haz radiante a este joven y confiere Tu generosidad a esta pobre criatura. Otórgale conocimiento, concédele más fuerza al romper el alba cada mañana y resguárdalo al amparo de Tu protección para que se libre del error, pueda consagrarse al servicio de Tu Causa, pueda guiar a los descarriados, encaminar a los desventurados, liberar a los cautivos y despertar a los desatentos, para que todos sean bendecidos con Tu recuerdo y Tu alabanza. Tú eres el Poderoso y el Potente.

Abdu’l-Baha

ENGLISH

O Lord! Make this youth radiant, and confer Thy bounty upon this poor creature. Bestow upon him knowledge, grant him added strength at the break of every morn and guard him within the shelter of Thy protection so that he may be freed from error, may devote himself to the service of Thy Cause, may guide the wayward, lead the hapless, free the captives and awaken the heedless, that all may be blessed with Thy remembrance and praise. Thou art the Mighty and the Powerful.

Abdu’l-Baha

Oh Señor

Haz radiante a este joven
Y confiere Tu generosidad
A esta pobre criatura
Oh Señor
Oh Señor

Otórgale conocimiento
Concédele, concédele más fuerza
Al romper el alba cada mañana
Y resguárdalo al amparo de Tu protección

Para que se libre del error
Pueda consagrarse al

De Tu Causa
De Tu Causa

Pueda guiar a los descarriados
Encaminar a los desventurados
Liberar a los cautivos
Y despertar a los desatentos

Para que todos sean bendecidos
Con Tu recuerdo y Tu alabanza
Para que todos sean bendecidos
Con Tu recuerdo y Tu alabanza

Tú eres el Poderoso
Tú eres el Poderoso
Y el Potente, y el Potente
Y el Potente, y el Potente
