Solidarity

  1. We who share the Southern skies,
    We who sail the Southern seas,
    Pledge our love in comradeship
    Against hunger and disease:
    Ours the strength of God's pure love,
    Theirs the suffering of the Lamb,
    With the Spirit's endless grace
    To complete what He began.
  2. Through the jungles sadly scarred,
    Up the mountains scraped and raw,
    To the islands once intact
    Chewed and spat by Mammon's maw:
    We will go in peace and calm,
    Reconciled at last to heal,
    Not to lecture and command
    But to listen, serve and kneel.
  3. Where Your mission keeps us here
    We will labour for redress,
    Giving more than in the past
    For our neighbours in distress:
    What we broke we will amend,
    What we stole we will restore,
    Giving much more than we took,
    Faithful to Your loving law.
  4. God who reigns among the stars,
    Son who died upon a hill,
    Spirit who upholds the weak,
    Curbs the strong to do His will:
    Bless our efforts to reform,
    Guide us in our enterprise
    To restore the world You made
    Nearer to ancient Paradise.
