Father Have Mercy on the Souls of Your Children (copyright Craig Hammond)

Father have mercy on the souls of your children
Lord, have mercy on us all
Show us true gentleness, brotherhood and righteousness
Guide our footsteps on the path
Guide our footsteps on the path

In these days of reckoning a new world is beckoning
Justice must be our one desire
And in this troubled hour bestow our lives with power
Help us to redeem this cut and bleeding earth
Help us to redeem this cut and bleeding earth

Open up the hearts of man and let your healing light shine in
Grant our quest for unity
Peace and harmony with people from across the sea
One world full of love and light
One world full of love and light

Father have mercy on the souls of your children
Lord, have mercy on us all
Show us true gentleness, brotherhood and righteousness
Guide our footsteps on the path
Guide our footsteps on the path
