“Oración de Jóvenes (Prayer for Youth)” by Mayca & Enrique

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 Marbella, Spain with Mayca Roa and Enrique Sabariego who sing “Oración de Jóvenes (Prayer for Youth)” in Spanish based on a passage from the Writings of Abdu’l-Baha. 

This song was filmed and recorded in Marbella, Spain in July 2023.

LYRICS/QUOTE:

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 por Tu recuerdo y Tu alabanza Tu eres el Poderoso y el Potente.

LYRICS/QUOTE IN 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.
