Lyrics
Oh come! Oh come!
Oh Light to Nations, come!
So we can see
all tribes on earth are one!
Divided no more,
we can then embrace!
And see ourselves
in every human face!
Rejoice!Rejoice!Rejoice!Rejoice!
We will learn to see!
Prepare a welcome table for that day!
Prepare a welcome table for that day!
Our ears can hear
what prophecies foretell:
That peace shall reign
and truth with kindness dwell!
Our hopeful hearts
are yearning for that day!
And thoughtful minds
are searching for the way!
Rejoice!Rejoice!Rejoice! Rejoice!
Truth with kindness dwells!
Prepare a welcome table
for that day!
Prepare a welcome tablefor that day!-- For that day!
Oh come! Oh come!
Desire of Nations, come!
Our lonely, selfish ways
can be undone!
Leave prejudice
and privilege behind!
And bind as one
the hearts of humankind!
Rejoice!Rejoice!Rejoice! Rejoice!
Bind our hearts as one!
Prepare a welcome table
for that day!
Prepare a welcome table
for that day!
Prepare a welcome table
for that day! For that day!
Oh come! Oh come!
