Lyrics
[Instrumental intro]
Blessed is he who
in the prime of his youth
and the heyday of his life
will arise to serve
the Cause of the Lord
of the beginning and of the end,
and adorn his heart with His love.
Blessed is he who
in the prime of his youth
and the heyday of his life
will arise to serve
the Cause of the Lord
of the beginning and of the end,
and adorn his heart with His love.
The manifestation of such a grace
is greater than the creation
of the heavens and of the earth.
Blessed are the steadfast
and well is it with those
who are firm.
Tread ye the Straight Path
by the leave of your Lord, the Merciful,
and be not of them that have erred and strayed.
Tread ye the Straight Path
by the leave of your Lord, the Merciful,
and be not of them that have erred and strayed.
Say, verily He is
at this moment
calling aloud from His
seat of effulgent glory
to all creation
through His sweet
and wondrous melodies;
[emotional peak]
beware lest ye tarry in these days.
beware lest ye tarry in these days.
[added intensity]
Tread ye the Straight Path
by the leave of your Lord, the Merciful,
and be not of them that have erred and strayed.
Tread ye the Straight Path
by the leave of your Lord, the Merciful,
and be not of them that have erred and strayed.
[Instrumental interlude]
Say, verily He hath
been sent down once again
from the heaven of Divine Decree
and reciteth unto you
His mighty verses.
[most powerful rendition]
Tread ye the Straight Path
by the leave of your Lord, the Merciful,
and be not of them that have erred and strayed.
Tread ye the Straight Path
by the leave of your Lord, the Merciful,
and be not of them that have erred and strayed.
This is indeed better for you
than the dominion
of this world and of the next.
