(capo 5) Dm Am C G

O ESSENCE OF NEGLIGENCE! 
Myriads of mystic tongues find utterance 
in one speech, 

and myriads of hidden mysteries are revealed 
in a single melody; 

yet, alas, there is no ear to hear, nor heart to understand.

O Essence Of Negligence (Remastered) - jtdubss

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 Brisbane, Australia with Grant Hindin Miller who sings “O Son of Earth” based on the Writings of Baha’u’llah. 

This song was filmed and recorded in Brisbane, Australia in August 2023.

LYRICS/QUOTE:

O SON OF EARTH!
Wouldst thou have Me, seek none other than Me; and wouldst thou gaze upon My beauty, close thine eyes to the world and all that is therein; for My will and the will of another than Me, even as fire and water, cannot dwell together in one heart.

And:

Illumine, O Lord, the faces of Thy servants, that they may behold Thee; and cleanse their hearts that they may turn unto the court of Thy heavenly favors, and recognize Him Who is the Manifestation of Thy Self and the Dayspring of Thine Essence. Verily, Thou art the Lord of all worlds. There is no God but Thee, the Unconstrained, the All-Subduing.
