Prayer for Infants (Called Into Being)

🎧 A Prayer for the Beginning of Life

This is a musical setting of a devotional prayer for infants revealed by Bahá’u’lláh. It’s a quiet, heartfelt prayer that asks God to care for and protect a new soul who has just entered the world. In this recording, Belitivity offers a soft and reflective musical arrangement that gives space for listening, holding, or simply being still with your child.

It’s something you can play during a naming ceremony, while rocking your baby to sleep, or while praying for a child who needs healing. It’s also a way to honor the spiritual weight of parenting, especially during those early days when everything feels tender, uncertain, and holy.

🕊️ The Words of the Prayer

Here is the full prayer that is sung in this recording:

“Praised be Thou, O Lord my God! Graciously grant that this infant be fed from the breast of Thy tender mercy and loving providence and be nourished with the fruit of Thy celestial trees. Suffer him not to be committed to the care of anyone save Thee, inasmuch as Thou, Thyself, through the potency of Thy sovereign will and power, didst create and call him into being. There is none other God but Thee, the Almighty, the All-Knowing.”

“Lauded art Thou, O my Best Beloved! Waft over him the sweet savours of Thy transcendent bounty and the fragrances of Thy holy bestowals. Enable him then to seek shelter beneath the shadow of Thy most exalted Name, O Thou Who holdest in Thy grasp the kingdom of names and attributes. Verily Thou art potent to do what Thou willest, and Thou art indeed the Mighty, the Exalted, the Ever-Forgiving, the Gracious, the Generous, the Merciful.”

This is a prayer you don’t rush. It’s about trusting God with the life of someone deeply precious, and asking for help in ways we sometimes can’t put into our own words.
