Sound Over All Waters

Verse 1

Sound over all waters, reach out from all lands the chorus of voices, the clasping of hands! Rise, hope of the ages, arise like the sun, all speech flow to music, all hearts beat as one!

Verse 2

Sing bridal of nations, with chorals of love! Sing out the war vulture and sing in the dove! With glad jubilation sing hope for the world; the great storm is ending, the clouds are all furled.

Verse 3

Sound trumpets of triumph for marches of peace, east, west, north, and south, let the long quarrels cease! Sing songs of great joy that the angels began, give glory to children, to woman and man!

Verse 4

Hark! Joining the chorus the heavens resound! The old day is ending, a new day is crowned! Rise, hope for the ages, arise like the sun, all speech flow to music, all hearts beat as one!
