Sitting on a bank of the Tiber, near Rome,
The son of a Centurian was dreaming of home
And as he watched the waters flow he heard in his head
A still, small voice. And this is what it said:
Love one another. (It said)
Love one another. (Yes!)
Love one another with a pure heart,
With a pure heart fervently.
Love one another. (We've got to.)
Love one another.
Love one another with a pure heart,
With a pure heart, fervently.
HODIE CHRISTUS NATUS EST.
GLORIA IN EXCELSIS DEO.
HODIE CHRISTUS NATUS EST.
GLORIA IN EXCELSIS DEO.
AMEN.
Standing in the snow at the end of the street
A homeless man was shivering and shuffling his feet.
Although the people passed him by, he heard in his head
A still, small voice. And this is what it said:
Love one another. (It said)
Love one another. (Yes!)
Love one another with a pure heart,
With a pure heart fervently.
Love one another. (We've got to.)
Love one another.
Love one another with a pure heart,
With a pure heart, fervently.
HODIE CHRISTUS NATUS EST.
GLORIA IN EXCELSIS DEO.
HODIE CHRISTUS NATUS EST.
GLORIA IN EXCELSIS DEO.
AMEN.
Floating in a space-ship in orbit round Earth
A woman aged two hundred saw the place of her birth
And, while she watched the world revolve, she heard in her head
A still, small voice. And this is what it said:
Love one another. (It said)
Love one another. (Yes!)
Love one another with a pure heart,
With a pure heart fervently.
Love one another. (We've got to.)
Love one another.
Love one another with a pure heart,
With a pure heart, fervently.
HODIE CHRISTUS NATUS EST.
GLORIA IN EXCELSIS DEO.
HODIE CHRISTUS NATUS EST.
GLORIA IN EXCELSIS DEO.
AMEN.
