Light Up the Planet

Light Up the Planet:
To The Blessed Beauty

Light up the planet
with the name of Baha'u'llah,
the Blessed Beauty.

Light up the planet,
carry the light of His scriptures
to a dark,
weary,
and storm tossed world
waiting for the light of dawn.

Light up the planet,
with the good news of
a New Heaven and a New Earth,
of the Holy City,
the New Jerusalem
atop Mount Carmel,
its white dome glistening
in the sun.
