Highlighting Australia
- As a proudly Australian initiative, we’re excited to showcase a collection of Australian stories, music, tributes and more.
Join activities, celebrations, study groups, spiritual empowerment and education programs for young people, and more.
Baha’i beliefs address essential spiritual themes for humanity’s collective and individual advancement. Learn more about these and more.
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 Stockholm, Sweden with Sylvia Riekstins-Vice who sings “O Herre (O Lord)” in Swedish from a prayer by the Bab.
This song was filmed and recorded in Stockholm, Sweden, October 2018.
Here is the quotation used for the lyrics in both Swedish and English, followed by the lyrics and chords below:
SWEDISH
O Herre, vare sig jag befinner mig på resa eller i mitt hem, är vid mina sysslor eller vid mitt kall,
The Bab
sätter jag hela min lit till dig.
ENGLISH
O Lord! Unto Thee I repair for refuge…
The Bab
O Lord! Whether traveling or at home,
in my occupation or in my work.
I place my whole trust in Thee.
