Refrain Moonlight o'er the marshes, silent, gleaming, Promises tomorrow brings God's blessing. People of the marshes, dancing, singing, Hunger is your shadow, constant, aching. Refrain Dancing lifts the spirit, soothes the sorrows, Singing helps us hope for better tomorrows. Refrain Gracious God provided crops in plenty, Rising angry waters left fields empty. Refrain Little children sighing, old folks dying, Great Lord of the marshes heard their crying. Refrain Great Lord of the marshes, Gracious Father, Rescuing Your children from their hunger. Refrain When will people learn to share God's bounty? Hasten, Lord, the day when all have plenty. Refrain
