'Tis a gift to come down where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
We will live in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gained.
To bow and to bend we shall not be ashamed.
To turn and to turn will be our delight,
'Til by turning and turning we come round right.
The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof,
Its streets, its streams, as well as stars above,
Salvation is here where we laugh, where we cry,
Where we seek and love, where we live and die.
When true liberty is found
By fear and by hate we will no more be bound,
In love and in life we will find a new birth,
In peace and in freedom redeem the earth.
