Hold on now, good earth, all creation;
hold on now, it won’t be long.
God has heard and will not abandon:
gather ‘round, for hope is coming.
Ah! Ah! Beautiful is the promise
Ah! Ah! Beautiful is the peace.excerpt
excerpt from ‘Beautiful Promise‘ – sung to the French Carol ‘Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella‘
