Signs of redemption 

which Christ made divine.

Soon gifts once humble 

shall become

God's pledge of salvation 

through Jesus His Son.

Give Him the gift of your love

Join in this feast 

which unites man with life

And live with His peace 

in your heart.

Be one with each other 

and all burdens share.

Banish all hatred, 

forgive ev'ry wrong;

In Christ we are brothers, 

at peace we belong.

Join in this feast

And live with His peace

Christ will come

To lend us the courage 

which His vict'ry won.

Let hope enfold you, 

trust in His care;

Prepare to receive Him 

whose work we must share.

Raise up your heart 

to our Lord present here

Give Him the gift of your love

Join in this feast
