Author: Frances W. Davis, 1936-1976 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #142 (1993) Meter: 4.7.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Let there be light,
let there be understanding,
let all the nations gather,
let them be face to face.
2 Open our lips,
open our minds to ponder,
open the door of concord
opening into grace.
3 Perish the sword,
perish the angry judgment,
perish the bombs and hunger,
perish the fight for gain.
4 Let there be light,
open our hearts to wonder,
perish the way of terror,
hallow the world God made. Topics: Words and Deeds of Prophetic Women and Men In Time To Come; Nations; Peace and War; Wisdom and Understanding Languages: English Tune Title: CONCORD
