[Verse 1: Sh Nasr]
On that moment before all moments
On that morn before the world was born
Did we hear the cadence of Divine Music here
In this lowly world, I hear that Music near and far
In the plucking of the ʿubud and the târ
And the shepherd's ney breathing upon the hills
The chanting of the birds and the singing of the whales
And even in the silent invocation of the mountain and stars
But most of all, it is in solitude with Thee
When I and Thou are alone in intimacy
That I hear so clearly the cadence of that Music Divine
Cadence (Sh Nasr) was written by Sami Yusuf & Seyyed Hossein Nasr.
Sami Yusuf released Cadence (Sh Nasr) on Thu Jan 01 2015.
