We come from four corners of the earth.
O Lord, from all villages we come,
Pilgrims journeying forth to be
in the house of God, in the house of God.
1 We've packed for the journey the pride of our youth;
we've packed for the journey our destiny's pain.
We offer to God, Spirit Guide,
our two hands now to build a new world. [Refrain]
2 We've packed for the journey the suff'ring of all;
we've packed for the journey the lot of the poor.
We offer to God, Spirit Guide,
our two hands now to build a new world. [Refrain]
3 We've packed for the journey the search for the truth;
we've packed for the journey the anguish of the earth.
We offer to God, Spirit Guide,
our two hands now to build a new world. [Refrain]
4 We've packed for the journey the search for the truth;
we've packed for the journey the search for what's just.
We offer to God, Spirit Guide,
our two hands now to build a new world. [Refrain] Topics: Justice Used With Tune: [We've packed for the journey the pride of our youth] Text Sources: Trad. Vietnamese hymn; Paraphrase based on a Vietnamese translation by Phu Xuan Ho
