Short prayer song
Here's a short prayer song i was taught in Xi'an by Shabnam (who recently got married to Vahid)-- i'm very happy for them, they're both such wonderful souls! True creations of Baha'u'llah's might! I recorded it into my cell phone at the time. If you want to here the melody, then you'll need to call or Skype me, though! It goes:
"Be Thou, O my Lord, my sole Desire, my Goal, mine only Hope, my constant Aim, my Habitation and my Sanctuary."
(Baha'u'llah, Prayers and Meditations by Baha'u'llah, p. 178)
The lyrics are an excerpt from a longer prayer:
"I beseech Thee, O my Lord, by that Remembrance of Thee through which all things have been raised to life, and through which all faces have been made to shine, not to frustrate the hopes I have set on the things Thou dost possess. Cause me, then, by Thy mercy, to enter beneath Thy shadow that shadoweth all things.
"Be Thou, O my Lord, my sole Desire, my Goal, mine only Hope, my constant Aim, my Habitation and my Sanctuary. Let the object of mine ardent quest be Thy most resplendent, Thine adorable, and ever-blessed Beauty. I implore Thee, O my Lord, by whatsoever is of Thee, to send, from the right hand of Thy might, that which will exalt Thy loved ones and abase Thine enemies.
"No God is there beside Thee, Thou alone art my Beloved in this world and in the world which is to come. Thou alone art the Desire of all them that have recognized Thee.
"Praised be God, the Lord of the worlds."
(Baha'u'llah, Prayers and Meditations by Baha'u'llah, p. 178)
