“Spirit of Holiness” by Lauren Hermann

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 Chicago, USA with Lauren Hermann singing “Spirit of Holiness”, based on the Writings of Baha’u’llah.

This song was filmed and recorded in Chicago, USA, December 2018.

Lyrics & Quote

O SON OF SPIRIT! The spirit of holiness beareth unto thee the joyful tidings of reunion; wherefore dost thou grieve? The spirit of power confirmeth thee in His cause; why dost thou veil thyself? The light of His countenance doth lead thee; how canst thou go astray?

Baha’u’llah
