"He must never seek to exalt himself above anyone, must wash away from the tablet of his heart every trace of pride and vainglory, must cling unto patience and resignation, observe silence, and refrain from idle talk. For the tongue is a smoldering fire, and excess of speech a deadly poison. Material fire consumeth the body, whereas the fire of the tongue devoureth both heart and soul. The force of the former lasteth but for a time, whilst the effects of the latter endure a century." - Bahá’u’lláh, The Kitáb-i-Íqán

Baha’i Blog’s “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 Hluboka nad Vltavou, in the Czech Republic with Ethan Crofts who sings “Arise” based on the words of the Bab, as quoted in The Dawn-Breakers.
 
You can also watch the recording of this song on Baha’i Blog’s YouTube channel here:

Here are the quotations used for the lyrics below followed by the quotations and chords:
 
"... arise, and rest assured that you will be with Me. Tomorrow you shall witness what God has decreed."

"Rejoice, the hour is approaching when, in this very city, I shall be suspended before the eyes of the multitude and shall fall a victim to the fire of the enemy. I shall choose no one except you to share with Me the cup of martyrdom. Rest assured that this promise which I give you shall be fulfilled."

"Had you believed in Me, O wayward generation..."

"I Myself will follow you, together with one of My loyal disciples, and will join you in the realm of eternity."

"O My beloved friends! You are the bearers of the name of God in this Day. You have been chosen as the repositories of His mystery. It behoves each one of you to manifest the attributes of God, and to exemplify by your deeds and words the signs of His righteousness, His power and glory."

"Heed not your weaknesses and frailty; fix your gaze upon the invincible power of the Lord, your God, the Almighty."

"Arise in His name, put your trust wholly in Him, and be assured of ultimate victory."

- The Bab

"Thou knowest, O God, and art my witness that I have no desire in my heart save to attain Thy good pleasure, to be confirmed in servitude unto Thee, to consecrate myself in Thy service, to labor in Thy great vineyard and to sacrifice all in Thy path. 

I have no wish save to turn my steps, in my love for Thee, towards the mountains and the deserts to loudly proclaim the advent of Thy Kingdom, and to raise Thy call amidst all men.

 I have no occupation save mention of Thee and no aspiration save serving Thee."

''A lover feareth nothing and no harm can come nigh him: Thou seest him chill in the fire and dry in the sea.''

I really really love the poetic and mystical nature of the Seven and Four valleys, and have always found this particular section especially potent and heart-effecting.
Hope you enjoy, love love love.
