Baha’is believe in the power of prayer and you’ll find Baha’is and their friends, throughout the world, getting together to pray. This is often referred to as a ‘devotional gathering’ or ‘devotional meeting’, and they happen in diverse settings, whether in cities or villages.
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 Eduardo Rioseco and Omid Khorramian singing “Oh Hijo de la Justicia (O Son of Justice)” based on the Writings of Baha’u’llah.
This song was filmed and recorded in Santiago, Chile on 26 May, 2019, and music was composed by Julieta Arballo and Bruno Arballo.
Lyrics & Quote
SPANISH
¡OH HIJO DE LA JUSTICIA! ¿Dónde puede ir un amante si no es a la tierra de su amada? ¿Y qué buscador encuentra descanso lejos del deseo de su corazón? Para el verdadero amante la reunión es vida y la separación es muerte. Su pecho está desprovisto de paciencia y su corazón no está en paz. Renunciaría a una miríada de vidas por apresurarse a la morada de su amada.
Baha’u’llah
ENGLISH
O SON OF JUSTICE! Whither can a lover go but to the land of his beloved? and what seeker findeth rest away from his heart’s desire? To the true lover reunion is life, and separation is death. His breast is void of patience and his heart hath no peace. A myriad lives he would forsake to hasten to the abode of his beloved.
Baha’u’llah
