The Lord is the Lord of all nations;
I, of all nations, the child.
White and black, yellow, and brown:
All rivers flow into my sea.

I, of all nations, the child
Melded in passionate love.
All rivers flow into my sea,
Joined in the blood of America.

Melded in passionate love,
I turn to those still behind walls,
Joined in the blood of America,
And tell them that love is the Lord's.

I turn to those still behind walls,
White and black, yellow, and brown,
And tell them that love is the Lord's!
The Lord is the Lord of all nations!
