lyrics

Listen to the voice
That makes the heart rejoice.
His first counsel is this:
* Possess a pure heart,
Kindly and radiant heart
that thine may be a sovereignty
That’s everlasting.

The heart’s a treasure, a bounty
beyond measure, a gift from our Lord.
If we keep it from worldly desires,
It surely will soar.
The pure heart: it is empty of
self and is ready to serve.
So the Lord then can fill it with joy,
all it deserves.

* Paraphrased from Hidden Words of Bahá’u’lláh in Arabic #1
