Bring the Day

From The Good Book

Listen to the music in the street.There's a rising tide and a restless beatAnd a call to start anew with a Jubilee.For the things we've lost are to be found In our common wealth and common groundCommon dreams and fears the world aroundWill bring the Jubilee.

Bring the day! Bring the day!

Join the dance of the Jubilee and bring the day!

Look into the wisdom in each face

See the world is now a smaller place

And it's calling with one voice for a Jubilee.

For the land we tread is not our own

An inheritance for us alone

But the future's gift to us on loan

To dance the Jubilee.

Bring the day! Bring the day!

Join the dance of the Jubilee and bring the day!

There's a hope that lives within each breast

For a touch of healing, time of rest

And a vision of life made whole by a Jubilee.

So, we'll share the work,

spread forth the gain

Listen for the Spirit's song again

Limber up to greet the day of change

And dance the Jubilee.

Bring the day! Bring the day!

Join the dance of the Jubilee and bring the day!

You can hear it in the rhythm of peace

You can see it in the chain's release

Time of reckoning,

Time of grace,

Time of Jubilee.

Where the planet is your neighbour's home

Where the promise is you're not alone

Let the Spirit lead us out as one into the Jubilee!

Bring the day! Bring the day!

Join the dance of the Jubilee and bring the day!
