Thread Name: Your Favourite Hymn
Subject: RE: Your Favourite Hymn
I have a lot of favoirites - but being Unitarian Universalist, they're probably not well know to most of you.

"For All That Is Our Life"
"We'll Build A Land"
"Morning Has Broken"

And my favorite of the ones I have written is below:

This is our time
© 2000 Thomas E. Cook
Tune - "Finlandia" by Sibelius


This is our time for peace and understanding.
This is our time to celebrate our faith.
This is our time to share with all the people
Our theme of hope for life on Mother Earth.
Our theme of hope it shall be celebrated;
It is our path to world community.

Our covenant defines our very nature,
The principles that guide our very lives:
Inherent worth with justice and compassion,
Acceptance of each other is our right.
Our spirit grows within our congregations.
Our spirit flows – the key to all we are.

We shall be free to search for truth and meaning.
Democracy shall govern our hard work.
Community, our goal within all nations.
It is with these we hope our faith will lead.
It is with these, that web of all existence.
Shall prove to be the saving of the earth.
