A prayer for the youth by ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, intoned by some youth from Sydney, interpreted by me.

The recording was made at the celebration of the birth of the Báb in the Cologne Bahá’í Centre. It was also used in a film about the Bahá’í community in Cologne.

Words: ‘Abdu’l-Bahá
Music: Sydney Youth
Guitar&Vocals: Maryam Hadji
Camera: Daria Eichhöfer

“O Lord! Make this youth radiant, and confer Thy bounty upon this poor creature. Bestow upon him knowledge, grant him added strength at the break of every morn and guard him within the shelter of Thy protection so that he may be freed from error, may devote himself to the service of Thy Cause, may guide the wayward, lead the hapless, free the captives and awaken the heedless, that all may be blessed with Thy remembrance and praise. Thou art the Mighty and the Powerful.”

‘Abdu’l-Bahá
