all are his servants, and all abide by her bidding."
- adapted from the baha'i prayer

the lyrics are slightly adapted from the well-known baha'i prayer "remover of difficulties" by the bab (1800's) and translated by shogi effendi (1900's)
the music is a vocal round in an easy steady waltz...
the short song (last track above) is for learning one part
in the waltz (second track), the whole prayer can be sung 3 times by each voice in a three-part round, for a total of 9 times
the "world" version (first track) is lively and more complex, repeating & layering only the original song (no other music!) to accommodate up to six vocal parts
