Lyrics:

Refrain: Alleluia! Alleluia!
Raise the Gospel over the earth!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Peace and justice bringing to birth!

1. Blessed those whose hearts are gentle.
Blessed those whose spirits are strong.
Blessed those who choose to bring forth
right where there is wrong.

2. Blessed those who work for justice.
Blessed those who answer the call.
Blessed those who dare to dream of
lasting peace for all.

3. Tremble, you who build up riches.
Tremble, you with opulent lives.
Tremble, when you meet the poor and
see Christ in their eyes.

4. Tremble, you who thirst for power.
Tremble, you who live for acclaim.
Tremble, when you find no comfort
in your wealth and fame.

5. Glory like the stars of heaven—
Glory like the sun in the sky—
Glory shines upon all people,
equal in God's eyes.

6. Glory to the Word of Justice.
Glory to the Spirit of Peace.
Glory to the God of Love whose
blessings never cease.
