1.
God of many names, 
gathered into One, 
in your glory come and meet us,
Moving, endlessly Becoming, 
God of hovering wings, 
Womb and Birth of time,
joyfully we sing your praises, 
Breath of life in every people - 

            Refrain:
                Hush, hush, hallelujah hallelujah!
                Shout, shout hallelujah, hallelujah!
                Sing, sing, hallelujah, hallelujah!
                Sing, God is love, God is love! 

2.
God of Jewish faith, 
exodus and law, 
in your glory come and meet us,
joy of Miriam and Moses! 
God of Jesus Christ, 
Rabbi of the poor, 
joyfully we sing your praises, 
crucified, alive for ever -   (Refrain)

3.
God of wounded hands, 
Web and Loom of love, 
in your glory come and meet us,
Carpenter of new creation. 
God of many names, 
gathered into One,
joyfully we sing your praises, 
Moving, endlessly Becoming,    (Refrain)
