there will come a day when sorrow fades away
and anguish and heartache shall ease
no mothers cryin'
no soldiers dyin'
and turmoil and misery shall cease. the hungry shall be fed
the aimless shall be led
and sad eyes will no longer weep
the last shall be first
through heaven he'll burst
with his heavenly host from the east
weapons to plowshares
hate turns to love
descending from heaven he'll sweep down to us
in radiant splendor; oh
won't it be sweet
when the raven of darkness turns into a white dove of peace
oh
there will come a day when i'll fly away
forever to be in his keep
eternal life in the sweet by and by
when raven dove
raven dove speaks
when lambs walk with lions
a child tames the beast
nations shall gather and bow at his feet
and loved ones shall rise up from their earthly sleep
and he'll separate all the chaff from the wheat. hallelujah
hallelujah
hallelujah
how sweet
when the raven of darkness turns into a white dove of peace
raven dove
behold he cometh in the clouds
and every eye shall see him
sweet bird
sweet bird of peace
raven dove
