Lyrics
The lyrics are copyright so cannot be reproduced here. But they are currently available on this website (page 338). A rough outline is:1. With one voice the angels sing, songs that make creation ring ....
2. Father Yahweh, Elohim; voice of thunder, spirit wind ...
Chorus:
Word of God enthroned, dwell in us forevermore;
Love has come to show the way
Halleluiah, peace be with us
Love has come to show the way.
3. God of covenant divine, lead us to the end of time
Beyond sorrow, beyond fear; beyond pride and earthen tears.
4. Keeper of the sacrifice, manifest in Jesus Christ ...
5. Now salvation has come in the New Jerusalem ...
