Lyrics
O Bird of the Throne Music by Pekka Okkonen Lyrics by Harri Peltola O “Bird of the Throne” Do warble Thy chant so blest With “the fruit of the tree of oneness” And intone the verses of paradise Revealed by the Almighty, the All-Wise (Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh, pp. 35, 50) Chorus: Thou bridgest together heaven and earth All creation is granted rebirth Broken-winged birds soar into flight Toward heavenly light O “Mystic Dove” Cry out Thy coo Ya Bahá Calling from “the Sadratu’l-Muntahá” Thy song of loves enhances harmony “The birds of [our] hearts” yearn unity (Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh, pp. 35, 193, 198) Chorus (Guitar solo by Pekka Okkonen) Chorus O “Nightingale” Keep singing Thy melody “Upon the twigs of the Tree of Eternity” And proclaim Thy message of brotherhood So mortals may attain to all good (Bahá’u’lláh, The Tablet of Ahmad) Chorus (4X)
