We shall a[D]rise at the [C]sound of [Am]our [D]name.

Called to be [D]light to the [C]whole human [D]race.

[CHORUS]
[A]Gather us [C]in, the [D]rich and the [A]haughty,
Gather us [C]in, the [D]proud and the [A]strong,

Give us the [D]courage to [C]enter [Am]the [D]song.

[D]Here we will [A]take the [C]wine and the [G]water,
Here we will [D]take the [C]bread of new [G]birth,

Call us a[D]new to be [C]salt for [Am]the [D]earth.

[A]Give us to [C]drink the [D]wine of com[A]passion
Give us to [C]eat, the [D]bread that is [A]You.

Now is the [D]Kingdom, [C]now is [Am]the [D]day.
