ancient and hostile
home of the exiled
patient you wait

breathing a sigh
offering a prayer
to on high
for the day to be near
of the great return

O' land of the pilgrims
who long to walk your roads
and bask in the sunshine
draped in the red robes
of wonderment
to once again be
in the land of the Bab and
Bahá'u'lláh's birth

Hail !O Land of Ta
Home of our Blessed Beauty , Our King of Kings
with impatience and courage
our voices sing

The ache to chant the prayers
can never compare
as we dare to seek permission
to enter the land of His birth
with prayer beads in hand
our spirits soothed by His verse

Unique are we who believe
in this revelation so grand
Of our Lord Bahá'u'lláh and the Bab
captured in the prisons
chained their precious Hands
blood ordained to stain the sand
of this ancient mystical land
a blessing for you O ' Ta

Garden of Ridván, Mesopotamia our Eden
discovering the echos, dreams of what will be seen
coming true with each day, as we read your Gleanings
the good tidings flow ,intuned are we who follow and
grow more spiritual in the words of our Twin Prophets

left in place for all to see and hear
when they return ,to this land so dear
the unseen will be come clear

sacred words for all mankind
Your writings that bind
woman and men from all nations
children and elders in unity

solace a soul could ever find

when all are welcome, to heal your scars
O land of Ta, on your legacy
place of the Day Star of Truth

Your followers will adorn themselves with your purity of heart
Your writings filling their souls
overwhelmed with faith and hope
wholeheartedly in spirit and in mind
once lost but always reassured you would
open in the future your doors for all to find

Thy Name is our healing
O ! Most Great Name
that will fly on the banners
and set all hearts and spirits aflame

Your heavenly words
so powerful as they mend
the races , the human hearts unifying as one
blending as the rainbow of Love
flying high above
anchored to the Crimson Ark

O ' land of Ta
graced with His steps
His sufferings ,His abasements
His time of painful Laments, His tests
Humble those who teach in His Name

O' land of the East
Home of the Day Star so bright
proclaimed by the Bab
the Door , the Gate
The Twin Stars of Revelation
would be your endowment
Holy land now , your God given rite
burning away the darkness with your Faith
full of Light
streaming forth with peace and might

Heralds of the New age
Physicians of the hungry souls

Blessed be the spot , and the place
and the land that became divine
through their redemption
by the wine of their utterances

are blooming and shared
in the message flows their Bounty
and the guidance for all mankind bared
