give us a song

give us a song to sing

sweet jesus;

tell me the words you hear that may be kind;

make it as long as the day's work before us;

tell me the tune to teach the people just in time

you'll never know how hard i've tried to find you;

i travelled here

and i ended up out there;

the devil has tried to sing a song of evil

but he'll never know the kind of musci people share

day begins

the fields are filling

workers out to do their share

song begins

we all are willing;

let me hear his children everywhere

give us a song to sing

sweet jesus;

tell me the words you hear that may be kind;

make it as long as the day's work before us;

tell me the tune to teach the people just in time
