Baha’i Blog Studio Sessions is an initiative where we invite Baha’is and their friends from around the world to come into a studio and share the Baha’i Writings put to music.


In this Baha’i Blog Studio Session, we’re in Melbourne, Australia with Alice and Oscar Gomez who sing “Dawntide” based on the Writings of Baha’u’llah. 

This song was composed by Oscar Gomez.

This song was filmed and recorded in Melbourne, Australia in November 2023.

You can also watch the video recording of this song on Baha’i Blog’s YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBAntemDYI4

LYRICS/QUOTE:

I have risen [...]  at this dawntide when the Daystar of Thy oneness hath shone forth from the Dayspring of Thy will, and hath shed its radiance upon the whole world [...]
Praise be unto Thee, O my God, that we have wakened to the splendors of the light of Thy knowledge. Send down, then, upon us, O my Lord, what will enable us to dispense with anyone but Thee [...] Write down [...] for me, and for such as are dear to me, and for my kindred, man and woman alike, the good of this world and the world to come. 

And: 

… graciously aid us to do what Thou lovest and desirest [...] Thou art, truly, the Lord and King of all men, and art potent over all things.
