Did he whirl the wheel of fortune round Let random chance do all the rest? Chorus And if you be a child of God Fish or mammal, bird or whale His breath of life exceeds our own Fin and feather, fur and scale Chorus And if you are a child of Eve Be sure you keep this garden fair We are the keepers of our world So praise the Lord who put us here Chorus And are our bodies mere cocoons From which our souls at last fly free? We’ll break these bonds that hold us fast And flutter towards eternity Chorus |
