HE IS GOD
O THOU SWEET VOICED SHAHNAZ
The melody which thou didst raise for the Mashriqu'l-Adhkar has reached the ears of
'Abdu'l-Bahá. It was a very sweet and heart touching melody because it contained the
praise and glorification of his Holiness Bahá'u'lláh. Spend all thy time in the concentration
of thought upon God. Compose and attune the Divine mysteries that thus the hearts may
be quickened and result in the joy and happiness of the hearers/
Upon thee be BAHÁ-El-ABHÁ
Signed 'Abdu'l-Bahá Abbas
