about

A song of oneness, traditional Irish melody, words by poet Desmond Leslie, originally titled Anthem for Ireland. Arr. Amy Stephen

lyrics

by Desmond Leslie (with a couple of small changes by Amy*)

Oh Land of Love, we bless thee gentle Mother
Oh Land of Light, the Jewel of the Sea
Oh Land of Joy, where sister shall meet brother
And all thy souls shall dwell in harmony

And when the clouds of torment and of sorrow
Flee with the dawn at rising of the sun
And shall clasp hands in happiness tomorrow
When we have learned that all who dwell in thee are one.

All wounds shall heal, unkindness be forgiven
All hurts forgot, as in the darkest night
No more shall we by war nor strife be ridden
All the world's children face the future bright

One God shall reign in hearts a flame is lighted
And it shall lead our people to the sun
One heart, one soul, one land by Love United
Where we shall live in peace until the world be done

*This poem, entitled "Anthem for Ireland" was written as a wish for peace in Ireland. Since there is now, happily, peace in Ireland, Amy has changed a few words to include the whole world in this wish.
