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
