The Ayyám-i-Há Song

Music and Lyrics by Daniel Deardorff

Performed by Naimeh Heath & Daniel Deardorff

I will buy you a present,

you will bake me a pie

then we'll open the presents

and all get starry-eyed.

Then we’ll stand around the

ring all holding hands

for Ayyám-i-Há’s the gift

of God to man.

I will bake you some cookies,

you will paint them bright

to celebrate spring's coming,

to melt the snow and ice.

Then we'll stand around the

ring all holding hands

for Ayyám-i-Há’s the gift

of God to man.

A yyám-i-Há’s the gift

of God to man

and in the spirit of His giving

we try to understand

Ayyám-i-Há

the gift of God to man.

Then we'll stand around the

ring all holding hands

for Ayyám-i-Há’s the gift

of God to man.

Ayyám-i-Há’s the gift

of God to man

and in the spirit of His giving

we try to understand

Ayyám-i-Há

The gift of God to man.

Ye are Drops

Ye are drops (ye are drops) echo voice

Of one ocean (of one ocean)

Ye are leaves (ye are leaves)

Of one tree (of one tree)

Come and join us (come and join us)

In our quest for unity

It’s a way of life for you and me.

All the earth is (all the earth is)

But one country (but one country)

Man is one (man is one)

Can’t you see (can’t you see)

Come and join us (come and join us)

In our quest for unity

It’s a way of life for you and me.

The Message -- a poem by Louis G. Gregory

The Báb

O Herald of the King of Kings

From Whom creation's power springs

The mission thine to blaze the way

Which leads to realms of endless day;

To be thyself the mystic sign

Of perfect love and power divine;

To resurrect the souls of men

And wealth devise beyond our ken.

Thy shining form was sometimes sad

Yet still thou mad'st creation glad;

Through martyrdom did'st plant the seeds

Which fructified in wondrous deeds.

Grant all, through deeds without desire

To witness thy celestial fire.

Bahá’u’lláh

O manifested Sun of Man

Thy sheen the reign of peace began.

Thine exile proved to man his home.

Thy shackles freed the souls to roam

The universe of God's great love

Directed by the Heavenly Dove.

The kings, their homage due to thee,

Enthroned, etherial majesty,

Shall bring the treasures of the earth

Memorial to thy cycle's birth.

The sweetest carols angels sing

Proclaim the oneness of our King.

O deathless Flame of Beauty bright

Set fire our souls, bestow thy might!

‘Abdu’l-Bahá

O Servant of the Light of God

Help us to bear the chastening rod;

Like thee to bless when others curse -

So shape our lives by Heaven's verse.

How like the Father through the years

Did'st thou restrain the fount of tears

Which in thy children sought to flow

Forth from the deep of human woe.

How cheered the hearts that turned to thee!

How sweet thy rare humility!

With wisdom great thou did'st the Ark

Guide through the storms of hatred dark.

To vivify the souls endeared

The mystery of God appeared.

(The Baha’i World, 1930-1932)

Unity House

Words & Music by Doug Cameron

Chorus

Come into my unity house

The rain falls down

The wind is strong

But it's warm inside

Come into my unity house

The day is long

We're singing a song

In the unity house.

Shine Your Light on me Baha’u’llah …

Shine you Light on me Baha’u’llah,

I am over here Baha'u'llah,

Shine your light on me Baha’u’llah,

Glory-aye, glory-aye.

Help me love Mankind Baha’u’llah,

I am over here Baha’u'llah,

Help me love Mankind Baha’u’llah,

Glory-aye, glory-aye.

Help me serve the Faith Baha’u’llah,

I am over here Baha’u'llah,

Help me serve the Faith Baha’u’llah,

Glory-aye, glory-aye.

Help me be a flame Baha’u’llah,

I am over here Baha’u'llah,

Help me be a flame Baha’u’llah,

Glory-aye, glory-aye.

Help me teach the Cause Baha’u’llah,

I am over here Baha’u'llah,

Help me teach the Cause Baha’u’llah,

Glory-aye, glory-aye.

Help me sacrifice Baha’u’llah,

I am over here Baha’u'llah,

Help me sacrifice Baha’u’llah,

Glory-aye, glory-aye.

Prayer -- a poem by L. Khai

O Beloved!

The Superlative of every good,

The Love that needs

No knowledge of face, or form, or speech,

The Love so great we can never touch Thy Reality

But whose touch has realized all things

And Whose knowledge molds life's essence --

Thou only art the Eternally Perfect

And the totality of beauty.

Out of eternity

Thou hast plucked the smallest grain

And called it time --

A speck of dust on Thy robe's hem

Is the material universe --

Thy thought in the space of an eyewink

Comprehendeth the spiritual universe.

O Thou! Who asketh for all we know

Yet givest all we know --

Infinity is not enough for all our praise of Thee,

O Most Adored One!

Origin of man's spirit --

Singular, yet All-Containing --

Though beyond any and all approach.

Thou art the life of every living soul.

(World Order, February 1947)

God is One

by: Margaret Jane King

God is one, man is one,

And all religions are one.

Land and sea, hill and valley,

Under the beautiful sun.

God is one, man is one,

And all the religions agree.

When everyone learns of the three onenessess,

We’ll have world unity.

Rejoice, Rejoice for a New Day has Dawned

by: Benjamin Dlamini

Rejoice, rejoice for a new day bas dawned

The whole wide world is all one fold

Rejoice, rejoice for a new day has dawned

The plan of God has now been told

The Promised One by the name of Bahá

Came to bring a new day

Let us be happy, let us say:

Yá Bahá'u'l- Abhá.

Say Yá Bahá'u'l- Abhá (2X)

This is Faith -- a poem by Ruhiyyih Khanum

To walk where there is no path,

To breathe where there is no air,

To see where there is no light-

This is Faith.

To cry out in the silence,

The silence of the night,

And hearing no echo believe

And believe again and again

This is Faith.

To hold pebbles and see jewels

To raise sticks and see forests

To smile with weeping eyes

This is Faith.

To Say: 'God, I believe' when others deny,

'I hear' when there is no answer,

'I see' though naught is seen-

This is Faith.

And the fierce love in the heart,

The savage love that cries Hidden

Thou art yet there!

Veil thy face and mute thy tongue

Yet I see and hear Thee, Love,

Beat me down to the bare earth,

Yet I rise and love Thee, Love!

This is Faith.

-  Ruhiyyih Khanum, written on April 4th, 1954 (‘A Tribute to Amatu'l-Baha Ruhiyyih Khanum’, by Violette Nakhjavani)   

God is Sufficient Unto Me

Revealed by Bahá’u’lláh

God is sufficient unto me,

He verily is the All-sufficing

In Him let the trusting trust.

Blessed is the Spot

Revealed by Bahá’u’lláh

Music by Elizabeth Habermann

Blessed is the spot, and the house,

and the place, and the city,

and the heart, and the mountain,

and the refuge, and the cave,

and the valley, and the land,

and the sea, and the island, and the meadow

where mention of God hath been made,

and His praise glorified.
