Who Is the Child?    Echo/chorus

1 Who is the child, Who is the child,‘Alí Muhammad  

Born in Shíráz, Born in Shíráz,city of roses?  

Who is the child, Who is the child,grown straight and true, Who told us, “I am, I am, I am the Promised One?”*

2 Who is the child, Who is the child,raised by His uncle, October born, October born,humble and gentle?  

Who is the child Who is the child,we bow before

Who told us, “I am, I am, I am the Promised One?”

BRIDGE:

Do you know Him?  

Have you heard His name?  

Does your heart feel the beauty of His presence?  

Do you love Him as did Mullá Husayn? 

If you’ve found what you’ve been seeking, you can tell me.

3 Who is the child, Who is the child,tender and holy, 

Wrote the Bayán, Wrote the Bayán,foretold the Glory?  

Who is the child Who is the child,Whom God prepared 

To tell us, “I am, I am, I am the Promised One?”  

Yes, He said, “I am, I am, I am the Promised One.”

And he said, “I am, I am, I am the Promised One.”

Meditation on Titles of Bahá'u'lláh

At last! We have created a book, Meditation on Titles of Bahá'u'lláh, featuring names associated with Bahá'u'lláh paired with Tim's beautiful nature photography.

We were inspired by the House of Justice’s suggestion a couple of years ago:

At the heart of these festivities must be a concerted effort to convey a sense of what it means for humanity that these two Luminaries rose successively above the horizon of the world. Of course, this will take different forms in different contexts, extending to a myriad artistic and cultural expressions, including songs, audio-visual presentations, publications and books. Such initiatives, coupled with widespread celebrations that are both uplifting and reverent, are also sure to spark the curiosity and wonder of many who may as yet be unfamiliar with the names of the Báb and Bahá’u’lláh.  (The Universal House of Justice, Bicentenaries of Twin Birthdays, 18 May 2016)

 

While our book did not get published before the October 2017 events, we still offer it as an expression related to the bicentennial.  Please email (unity9@sbcglobal.net) to inquire about purchasing, as right now it is not distributed anywhere, aside from our home office.

Monologue: "A Woman who 'met' Baha'u'llah"

For one event in honor of the Bicentenary of the Birth of Baha'u'llah, we made a tent and I portrayed a woman who had met Baha'u'llah. One child asked me, "How OLD are you?"!!!! I'll include the monologue below.
