Bicentenary Poems and Prose

He is Worthy of Praise: To The Bab

He is Worthy of Praise:
To The Bab

Raise your voices in praise
to the Blessed Bab.
He was the morning star
rising before the sun.

Sing “Yá Bahá’u’l-Abhá”1,
Chant "Alláh-u-Abhá”2,
because the Bab prepared the way
for the Glory of God3.

Proclaim your gratitude,
announce the glorious news
to all humanity
because the day has come
for peace and unity.
