The lyrics I referred to above, to the version in "Singing The Living Tradition":

We gather together in joyful thanksgiving,
acclaiming creation, whose bounty we share;
both sorrow and gladness we find now in our living,
we sing a hymn of praise to the life that we bear

We gather together to join in the journey
confirming, committing our passage to be
a true affirmation, in joy and tribulation,
when bound to human care and hope then we are free.
