“Ne reményeimet nézd (Look Not Upon my Hopes)” by Lilla, Annamária, László, Béla & Laci

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 Budapest, Hungary with Lilla Makay, Annamária Makay, László Juhász, Béla Munkácsy, and Laci Makay who sing “Ne reményeimet nézd (Look Not Upon my Hopes)” in Hungarian based on the Writings of Baha’u’llah.

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

LYRICS/QUOTE IN HUNGARIAN:

Ó, Istenem, én Istenem! Ne reményeimet és cselekedeteimet nézd, hanem akaratodat, mely körülöleli az egeket és a földet. Ó-ó! Mely körülöleli az egeket és a földet. Legnagyobb Nevedre, ó, minden népek Ura! Legnagyobb Nevedre, ó, minden népek Ura! Csak arra vágyódtam, mit Te kívántál, és csak azt szeretem, amit Te is szeretsz.

LYRICS/QUOTE IN ENGLISH:

O God, my God! Look not upon my hopes and my doings, nay rather look upon Thy will that hath encompassed the heavens and the earth. By Thy Most Great Name, O Thou Lord of all nations! I have desired only what Thou didst desire, and love only what Thou dost love.
