If this is the life we live

The kind of fast steam we have chosen

To lose the chains of injustice

And untie the unconverted

To share our food with the hungry

To give the oppressed freedom

To provide the poor and wandering with shelter

And when we see the naked, clothe them



Then the light shall bring forth like the dawn

And healing shall quickly arise

And your victor shall go before you

And the glory of the Lord behind



Then you will call and He will answer

You will cry for help and he will say: "Here I am."

If you remove the yoke from among you

The pointing of the fingers,

And the speaking of evil



Then the light shall bring forth like the dawn

And healing shall quickly arise

And your victor shall go before you

And the glory of the Lord behind



And he will guide you always

And satisfy in scorched lands

And make you strong like a watered garden

Like a spring, whose waters never end



If you offer your food to the hungry

And meet the needs of those in vain

Then your light will rise in the darkness

And your midnight will be like midday



Then the light shall bring forth like the dawn

And healing shall quickly arise

And your victor shall go before you

//And the glory of the Lord behind//
