FIRE TABLET LYRICS
WERE IT NOT FOR THE COLD,
HOW WOULD THE HEAT OF THY WORDS PREVAIL,
(O EXPOUNDER OF THE WORLDS?)
WERE IT NOT FOR CALAMITY,
HOW WOULD THE SUN OF THY PATIENCE SHINE,
(O LIGHT OF THE WORLDS?)
LAMENT NOT BECAUSE OF THE WICKED.
THOU WERT CREATED TO BEAR AND ENDURE,
(O PATIENCE OF THE WORLDS.)
HOW SWEET WAS THY DAWNING
ON THE HORIZON OF THE COVENANT
AMONG THE STIRRERS OF SEDITION,
AND THY YEARNING AFTER GOD,
(O LOVE OF THE WORLDS.)
BY THEE THE BANNER OF INDEPENDENCE
WAS PLANTED ON THE HIGHEST PEAKS,
AND THE SEA OF BOUNTY SURGED,
AND THE SEA OF BOUNTY SURGED,
(O RAPTURE OF THE WORLDS.)
BY THINE ALONENESS THE SUN OF ONENESS SHONE,
AND BY THY BANISHMENT THE LAND OF UNITY WAS ADORNED. BE PATIENT,
(O THOU EXILE OF THE WORLDS. )
WE HAVE MADE ABASEMENT THE GARMENT OF GLORY,
AND AFFLICTION THE ADORNMENT OF THY TEMPLE,
(O PRIDE OF THE WORLDS.)
THOU SEEST THE HEARTS ARE FILLED WITH HATE,
AND TO OVERLOOK IS THINE,
(O THOU CONCEALER OF THE SINS OF THE WORLDS.)
WHEN THE SWORDS FLASH, GO FORWARD!
WHEN THE SHAFTS FLY, PRESS ONWARD!
(O THOU SACRIFICE OF THE WORLDS.)
DOST THOU WAIL, OR SHALL I WAIL?
RATHER SHALL I WEEP AT THE FEWNESS OF THY CHAMPIONS,
O THOU WHO HAST CAUSED THE WAILING OF THE WORLDS.
O EXPOUNDER OF THE WORLDS?
O LIGHT OF THE WORLDS?
O PATIENCE OF THE WORLDS.
O LOVE OF THE WORLDS.
O RAPTURE OF THE WORLDS.
O THOU EXILE OF THE WORLDS.
O PRIDE OF THE WORLDS.
O THOU CONCEALER OF THE SINS OF THE WORLDS.
O THOU SACRIFICE OF THE WORLDS.
O THOU WHO HAST CAUSED THE WAILING OF THE WORLDS.
BAHÁ'U'LLÁH

Sooooo beautiful. Makes me cry almost every time ❤

I was worried about replacing my high-end older oasis with this one kzbin.infoUgkxCgPI5O2AtmcHq9SJhgsCGbpAzJAJfrJp but it is surprisingly light and the screen resolution is just as good. I never had the warm light on my old kindle, but i do not use it on the ipad so I will probably not need it. I think the only thing I'll miss is the self-adjusting light, but this is so worth it!

[@sulorani]

Listening to this at one of my darkest hours. Please pray for me if you see this 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@uncleanis45]

Done. Hope you’re better 🫡

[@sunchaos]

Such beauty and reverence, inspiring, touching.

[@world-citizens111]

OMG!!! When you and you mother intone the verses of God my heart is filled with joy and the tear begin to flow. Truly a gift to us all. Happy 12th Day of Ridvan!

“Even music, art, and literature, which are to represent and inspire the noblest sentiments and highest aspirations and should be a source of comfort and tranquillity for troubled souls, have strayed from the straight path and are now the mirrors of the soiled hearts of this confused, unprincipled, and disordered age….” (The Universal House of Justice, Messages 1963 to 1986, p. 435)

This is so so beautiful I listen to this masterpiece everyday!! I am attempting to learn and to teach my mum so we can perform it in our devotional meetings and festivals. The way you have created this powerful prayer into a song is outstanding! It is because of your hard work that it draws the heart of many!! I was wondering if you could share the guitar chords you are playing?
