Verse 1
Come sing a song of joy
For peace shall come, my brother.
Sing, sing a song of joy
For men shall love each other.
That day will dawn just as sure
As hearts that are pure, are hearts set free.
No man must stand alone
With hands held out before him.
Reach out and take them in yours
With love that endures forevermore.
Then sing a song of joy
For love and understanding.

For mankind in his glory.
One mighty voice that will bring
A song that will ring forevermore.
Then sing a song of joy
For love and understanding.
Verse 3

Of freedom, tell the story.
Sing, sing a song of joy
For mankind in his glory.
One mighty voice that will bring
A song that will ring forevermore.

For love and understanding.
