Stand by the cross that bids all hatred cease. March to the drums of dignity and worth. Salute the King of Love, the Prince of Peace.

Hallelujah! Sing and tell the story! Joyful is the dark, joyful is the dark, joyful is the dark.

Imprisoned in systems, you long to be free. We see you, O Jesus, still bearing your tree. 3 We hear you, O Man [Christ], in agony cry. For freedom you march, in riots you die. Your face in the papers we read and we see. The tree must be planted by human decree. 4 You choose to be made at one with the earth; the dark of the grave prepares for your birth. Your death is your rising, creative your word: the tree springs to life and our hope is restored.

Let me without regret recall the past then, then, into your hands commit my spirit. 4 Meanwhile I live and move and I am glad, enjoy this life and all its interweaving; each given day, as I take up the thread, let love suggest my mode, my mood of living.
