Sacred Dawning | A song for the Birth of the Báb | by Anisa Afnani

A new original Bahá’í song and visual presentation celebrating the Birth of the Báb and the joy of the Twin Holy Days ✨ We are grateful to share this original piece with the community for Holy Day listening, gatherings, celebrations, or personal enjoyment. We sincerely hope you share it with your loved ones and sing along 🎉 The lyrics of the pre-chorus are inspired by and adapted from the words sent by Táhirih to the Báb in a sealed letter, expressing her recognition of His station before she had ever met Him in person: “The effulgence of Thy face flashed forth, and the rays of Thy visage arose on high.Then speak the word, ‘Am I not your Lord?’ and ‘Thou art, Thou art!’ we will all reply.” The Dawn-Breakers: Nabíl’s Narrative of the Early Days of the Bahá’í Revelation, pp. 81–82. 📖 Explore our free Celebration Songbook program library and resources: https://celebrationsongbook.my.canva....
