1 God of every tribe and nation Lord of continents and seas, Architect of earth's salvation to its furthest boundaries: come, renew your whole creation, come to heal this world's disease. 2 Christ whose cross and resurrection gives new hope to every race, let us see your own reflection shining out from every face; every colour and complexion consecrated by your grace. 3 Holy Spirit, life-creating, turning silence into song, all our deep desires translating into prayers in every tongue: speak with fervour unabating truths that make your people strong. 4 Father, Son and Holy Spirit, bring an end to earth's despair! by your grace let us inherit peace beyond our boldest prayer; worlds remade shall sing your merit, heavens renewed your praise declare.
