You are salt for the earth, O people:
salt for the kingdom of God!
Share the flavor of life, O people:
life in the kingdom of God!
Bring forth the kingdom of mercy,
bring forth the kingdom of peace;
Bring forth the kingdom of justice,
bring forth the City of God!
You are a light on the hill, O people:
light for the City of God!
Shine so holy and bright, O people:
shine for the kingdom of God!
Bring forth the kingdom of mercy,
bring forth the kingdom of peace;
Bring forth the kingdom of justice,
bring forth the City of God!
You are a seed of the Word, O people:
bring forth the City of God!
Seeds of mercy and seeds of justice,
grow in the kingdom of God!
Bring forth the kingdom of mercy,
bring forth the kingdom of peace;
Bring forth the kingdom of justice,
bring forth the City of God!
You are a blessed and a pilgrim people:
bound for the kingdom of God!
Love our journey and love our homeland:
love is the kingdom of God!
Bring forth the kingdom of mercy,
bring forth the kingdom of peace;
Bring forth the kingdom of justice,
bring forth the City of God!
