Take this story of the One Who had it all
Evident glory shone about His mansion hall
Those who'd seen Him wondered at His inward might
A vision granted only to those with inward sight

Take this story and tell it to your children all
Its the story the Ancient Glory's fragrant call

Man and woman the time has come to meet as one
Black and white you know we blossom 'neath one sun
East and west the twain has met and shall not part
This earth's one country we're citizens of soul and heart

Take this story and tell it to your neighbors all
Its the story the Ancient Glory's fragrant call

All religions emanate from one same source
Progressive teachings the river of peace's winding course
The Kingdom's here now working on this earthly plane
Bringing the light to burn away this dreadful pain

Take this story and tell it to the nations all
Its the story the Ancient Glory's fragrant call
This is a celebratory song about the appearance of Baha'u'llah, the Prophet/Founder of the Baha'i Faith.  Once again, in fulfillment of the prophecies of all the world's great religious traditions, God has manifested His Will and renewed His Purpose for mankind, announcing the long-awaited global spiritual civilization human kind has been evolving and striving toward from time immemorial.  The time for the realization and actualization of the reality of the Oneness of God, the Oneness of Religion and the Oneness of mankind is upon us.....
