The Divine Melody is a collection of gems from the Writings of the Bahá’í Faith that refer to the Word of God as music emanating from the Mystic Dove or the Nightingale of Paradise, as if the divine Revelation were God’s song to mankind. This beautiful and mystical concept refers not only to the Divine Word as a melody but also to the spiritual calling for us to spread the Divine Word in song and to lift up our voices to the praise and glorification of God. “Hearken then unto that which the Bird of Heaven uttered, in the sweetest and most wondrous accents, and in the most perfect and exalted melodies…”
— Bahá’u’lláh
“Give ear unto that which the Dove of Eternity warbleth upon the twigs of the Divine Lote-Tree…”
— Bahá’u’lláh
