for everyone born, clean water and bread,
a shelter, a space, a safe place for growing,
for everyone born, a star overhead.

And God will delight when we are creators
of justice and joy, compassion and peace:
yes, God will delight when we are creators
of justice, justice and joy.

for woman and man, a system that's fair. [Refrain]

abuser, abused, with need to forgive,
in anger, in hurt, a mindset of mercy,

to live without fear, and simply to be,
to work, to speak out, to witness and worship,
for everyone born, the right to be free. [Refrain]

1 Para cada ser, un lugar en la mesa.
Para cada ser, agua limpia pan.
Vivienda, hogar, lugar de crianza,
Para cada ser, una estrella polar.
Estribillo:
Y Dios se gozará cuando promovamos la justicia
con júbilo, paz y compasión.
Y Dios se gozará cuando promovamos la justicia,
¡justicia y paz!
2 Para ella y él, un lugar en la mesa,
con nueva visión de cómo hacer
tareas del hogar, igual compartidas.
Para ella y él, sus derechos honrar. [Estribillo]
3 Menor y mayor, un ugar en la mesa.
Derecho de hablar y participar.
Las manos tan tiernas en manos ancianas.
Menor y mayor, libertad de cantar. [Estribillo]
4 El justo y el vil, un lugar en la mesa,
dañado y atroz deseando el perdón.
Con ira y dolor, la misericordia;
el justo y el vil, neva vida tener. [Estribillo]
5 Para cada ser, un lugar en la mesa,
vivir sin temor nuestra existencia.
Obrar, declarar, orar, testificar.
El derecho común: ¡Es la libertad! [Estribillo]

1 Pour tout être né, une place à la table,
pour tout être né, de l'eau et du pain;
un abri, un coin, un lieu sûr où grandir;
pour tout être né, une étoile guidante.
Refrain:
Et Dieu prend plaisir, lorsque nous
œuvrons pour la justice,
la joie, compassion et paix:
oui, Dieu prend plaisir,
lorsque nous œuvrons pour la justice,
et pour la paix.
2 Les femmes et les hommes, une place á la table,
révisant les rôles, à chacun sa part;
partageant les forces, avec grâce et sagesse,
les femmes et les hommes, justice et respect. [Refrain]
3 Les jeunes et moins jeunes, une place à la table,
une voix importante, faisant harmonie,
les mains d'un enfant dans des mains ridées par le temps,
les jeunes et moins jeunes, leur place et moins jeunes, leur place est certaine. [Refrain]
4 Les justes, les injustes, une place à la table,
victimes et bourreaux, cherchant le pardon.
Colère et chagrin, dans un esprit de pitié,
les justes, les injustes, un monde nouveau. [Refrain]
5 Pour tout être né, une place à la table,
vivre tout simplement, sans connaitre la peur.
S'exprimer, œuvrer, témoigner, adorer.
Pour tout être né, joie et liberté. [Refrain]

Shirley Erena Murray
1931 - 2020 Person Name: Shirley Erena Murray, b. 1931 Author of "A Place at the Table" in Gather Comprehensive, Second Edition Shirley Erena Murray (b. Invercargill, New Zealand, 1931) studied music as an undergraduate but received a master’s degree (with honors) in classics and French from Otago University. Her upbringing was Methodist, but she became a Presbyterian when she married the Reverend John Stewart Murray, who was a moderator of the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand. Shirley began her career as a teacher of languages, but she became more active in Amnesty International, and for eight years she served the Labor Party Research Unit of Parliament. Her involvement in these organizations has enriched her writing of hymns, which address human rights, women’s concerns, justice, peace, the integrity of creation, and the unity of the church. Many of her hymns have been performed in CCA and WCC assemblies. In recognition for her service as a writer of hymns, the New Zealand government honored her as a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit on the Queen’s birthday on 3 June 2001. Through Hope Publishing House, Murray has published three collections of her hymns: In Every Corner Sing (eighty-four hymns, 1992), Everyday in Your Spirit (forty-one hymns, 1996), and Faith Makes the Song (fifty hymns, 2002). The New Zealand Hymnbook Trust, for which she worked for a long time, has also published many of her texts (cf. back cover, Faith Makes the Song). In 2009, Otaga University conferred on her an honorary doctorate in literature for her contribution to the art of hymn writing.
