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 Perth, Australia with Asha Kumari and Maya Villiers-Stuart who sing “Refresh and Gladden” attributed to the Writings of Abdu’l-Baha. 

While the text of this prayer in the original language has not been found and it therefore cannot be authenticated, it can be used in devotions.

This song was filmed and recorded in Perth, Australia in December 2023. 

The melody was composed by Fiona McDonald.

You can also watch the video recording of this song on Baha’i Blog’s YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxGhLS0mO48

LYRICS/QUOTE:

O God! Refresh and gladden my spirit. Purify my heart. Illumine my powers. I lay all my affairs in Thy hand. Thou art my Guide and my Refuge. I will no longer be sorrowful and grieved; I will be a happy and joyful being. O God! I will no longer be full of anxiety, nor will I let trouble harass me.  I will not dwell on the unpleasant things of life.
O God! Thou art more friend to me than I am to myself. I dedicate myself to Thee, O Lord.

Here is the quotation used for the lyrics below followed by the quotation and chords:
 
"Glory be to Thee, O God, for Thy manifestation of love to mankind! O Thou Who art our Life and Light, guide Thy servants in Thy way, and make us rich in Thee and free from all save thee.
O God, teach us Thy Oneness and give us a realization of Thy Unity, that we may see no one save Thee. Thou art the merciful and the Giver of bounty!
O God, create in the hearts of Thy beloved the fire of Thy love, that it may consume the thought of everything save Thee.
Reveal to us, O God, Thine exalted eternity -- that Thou hast ever been and will ever be, and that there is no God save Thee. Verily, in Thee will we find comfort and strength." -Baha’u’llah
