Hi!
The song is incredibly beautiful!
I just feel it very important to say, that this quotation is from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, and not The Báb.
See Gleanings From the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh at the official website of Bahai Reference Library http://reference.bahai.org/en/t/b/GWB/gwb-7.html
With best regards,
