Request to the World

1
People of the West

Come out of your cities,
O people of the west,
Come out of your cities and aid God.

Become true brothers,
O people of the west,
Become true brothers and love God.

Let your hearts become mirrors,
O people of the west,
Let your hearts become mirrors reflecting God.

To The Seekers

Seekers,
this is the path of knowledge,
that leads to salvation.

Searchers,
In this day safety comes
through obedience to God's law.

Inquirers,
this is the day of God,
the age of the King of Glory.

Suppliants,
Your salvation is Baha'u'llah,
the Glory of God.

People of Earth

O people of Earth!
Proclaim God Remembrance.
O people of Earth!
Glorify the Creator.
He is the Ancient of Days.
The Ever-Living.

4
Strive to Live

"Strive to live The Life the best you can!"
Ernest Hensley

To live the reality
Of God's love
We must strive to obey
Baha'u'llah's commands.

5
Step Onto the Seeker's Path

Seeker after truth,
leave the shadows
and step onto one of the paths
that leads to the Immortal Beloved.

6
Pray for Peace

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem;
Pray for the peace of the world;
Pray for an end to the fighting;
Pray for rebuilding the world.
