Additional Information

This short choral, written in 1986, is a setting of one of the Hidden Words by Bahá’u’lláh, the Founder of the Bahá'í Faith.  It is a setting for SSATBB choir, a cappella.  The words express that we should only be sorrowful if we are far from God, and only rejoice if we are nearing to Him.
