As a proudly Australian initiative, we’re excited to showcase a collection of Australian stories, music, tributes and more.
In this Baha’i Blog Studio Session, we’re in Melbourne, Australia with Emily Nguyen and Shayan Rashidi who sing “New Found Wings” based on a passage from the Writings of Abdu’l-Baha.
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.
This song was composed by Emily Nguyen.
This song was filmed and recorded in Melbourne, Australia in November 2023.
O Lord so rich in bounty, so replete with grace,
Whose knowledge doth mine inmost heart and soul embrace!At morn, the solace of my soul is none but Thee;
The knower of my loss and woe is none but Thee.The heart that for a moment hath Thy mention known
Will seek no friend save longing pain for Thee alone.Withered be the heart that sigheth not for Thee,
And better blind the eye that crieth not for Thee!… Upon these broken-winged birds whose flight is slow
Out of Thy tender mercy newfound wings bestow.
