Gathering Hymn
|
This is my song, O God of all the nations,
A song of peace for lands afar and mine.
This is my home, the country where my heart is;
Here are my hopes, my dreams, my holy shrine;
But other hearts in other lands are beating
With hopes and dreams as true and high as mine.

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

All the things that really matter, be at peace, and simply be.
