Gathering Hymn
|
Come, come whoever you are,
Wanderer, worshipper, lover of leaving.
Ours is no caravan of despair,
Come, yet again come.
Ven, ven, cual eres, ven,
Nómada_en búsqueda, si_amas la vida.
La nuestra_es la caravana de_amor,
Ven, otra vez ven.

Gathering Hymn
|
'Tis a gift to be simple, 'tis a gift to be free,
'Tis a gift to come down where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gained,
To bow and to bend we shan't be ashamed.
To turn, turn will be our delight,
'Till be turning, turning we come 'round right.

Come and find the quiet center in the crowded life we lead.

Clear the chaos and the clutter, clear our eyes that we can see
All the things that really matter, be at peace and simply be.
