Beautiful song, but being unfamiliar to me I needed to look up the lyrics. Very nice:
Garden of Ridvan Lyrics
I used to see Him, rapt in meditation, walking on the banks of the Tigris
In the streets and cafes of Baghdad, talking with the friends, who gathered there
I followed Him to the Garden, where His mission was declared
I wept as the souls gathered around Him, as I listened to His prayers
Baha'u'lla'h, Most Great Name. Baha'u'lla'h, We'll all proclaim
Baha'u'lla'h, Most Great Light. Baha'u'lla'h, You gave Your life for me
Constantinople, Adrianople, Akka, Israel by the sea
To these prisons they banished Baha'u'lla'h, fulfilling prophecies
Homeless pilgrims tired and hungry, I watch them set out 'cross the sand
I too walked all the way from Persia, to catch a glimpse of His hand
Baha'u'lla'h, Most Great Name. Baha'u'lla'h, We'll all proclaim
Baha'u'lla'h, Most Great Light. Baha'u'lla'h, You gave Your life for me

Non-debating member when I can help myself
Being new here, at least in an active sense, since you first joined in 2017, you probably are ignorant of this, but only those who are declared to be Baha'is are supposed to post here. I appreciate the post, though. I see in your profile that you are omnist basically, and I respect that. There are also a couple of other Omnist people here. My friend @Starlight for one. You like the Quakers according to your profile. I am the son of Quaker parents, and I am proud of my Quaker heritage, though I am Baha'i now. My father was a Quaker minister.
