Beyond the Veil (Ascension of Abdu'l-Bahá)

In a mystical time, when The Mystery tread the earth
 Servant to all
 A candle of light, weeping His life away
 Drop by drop
 Oh fettered bird, in the cage of an ailing world
 "Kindle His light"
 "in tears before Thy face"
 "At the heavenly entrance of Thy Gate"
 "My presence will be with you always"
 "I have laboured [day and night]"
 I must leave and take My flight
 And "no strength is there left in Me"
 "I've done all that could be done"
 His father calls, a call to return to Him
 The work is done
 And His family awaits, they patiently wait for Him
 Beyond the veil
 And He yearns everyday to take His flight
 Instrumental (Ascension)
 Only one joy remained, for His pure heart to be fulfulled
 His dying wish
 That the friends raise the call, and carry His gift of love
 To the world
 And the son of Baha has winged His flight
