The Season of Hapiness

Fiḍál (Grace), 12 Bahá (Splendor) 177 B.E. Tuesday, March 31, 2020

"If we are not happy and joyous at this season, for what other season shall we wait and for what other time shall we look?"
‘Abdu’l-Bahá, 1

This is the season of happiness,
the day to raise your voices in jubilation
and gratitude
for another day of life,
for another chance to proclaim
the name of your Lord.

Raise your voices is joyful song,
and sing

"Praise the Lord!
"There is no God, but God!"
"O Thou Glory of Glories!"
"God the All-Glorious!"

Raise your voices in joyous exaltation
because this is the season of happiness.
