1. He’s known for His trust, His courage and bravery. He came to us, to this world to take us out of slavery. 
2. He grew up fair and radiant. A truthful child, so courteous and kind. When to the Truth He was obedient He had to leave this world behind. [Chorus:] 18 letters followed in His Name. They followed His Light, the Heat and the Flame. The King of the Messengers, so He was called. He is the Báb, the Gate of God. 3. He gave His life to show the way At 30 years He could no longer stay Yet what He’s told us to believe will always be what will make us free [Chorus:] 18 letters followed in His Name. They followed His Light, the Heat and the Flame The King of the Messengers, so He was called He is the Báb, the Gate of God. [Bridge:] 
When the rifles went off, and the smoke disappeared He was nowhere to see, nowhere to hear If He were just a man like you and me Then tell me how He could go back there again... [Chorus:] 18 letters followed in His Name. They followed His Light, the Heat and the Flame. The King of the Messengers, so He was called He is the Báb, the Gate of God. 18 letters followed in His Name. They followed His Light, the Heat and the Flame. The King of the Messengers, so He was called He is the Báb, the Gate of God. The Gate of God... The Gate of God...
