Movement V - Wedding

[SHANTY]

I know I should be glad of this

For to be thankful is

To know

I hope

That you will still be here

The time is drawing near

For us to know

[MARY DEE (no longer as a ghost)]

I'll always be here

As long as you've got time for me

Whether it's joy or sadness

It doesn't matter

As long as you have time for me

We will be together

[SHANTY]

I know That to be thankful is

Not what I need, but just for right now

It's all I've got

I know that patience is a virtue

But at this time in my life

I need something more

Something in the air

Is slowly drawing us together

[MARY DEE]

Sit tight

Be brave

And believe in something more

[SHANTY]

If I could sit still

It I could be courageous

I have a feeling that there's something

Drawing us inevitably towards it

[MARY DEE]

If you have patience

You needn't wait for ever

This is the story that they tell the children

Who are always asking the question

[SHANTY]

I know Someone is making sense

[MARY DEE]

We have a common sense

(Ah)

[SHANTY and Chorus]

(Ah)

[BOYS]

Father, hear our humble voices

We will praise Thee all our days

Cleanse our sins, release our minds

We will be together

[PREACHER and WOMEN'S Chorus]

Lord, deliver Thy salvation

Unto those that bless Thy name

[FULL Chorus]

Let them live in harmony

[SOLO QUARTET]

With Thy Holy Spirit

[Chorus]

Hosanna, Hosanna

Gloria in excelsis Deo

[MARY DEE and SHANTY]

God in heaven, save Thy thunder

For the enemies of love

Bathe us in Thy holy light

We will live together

[Chorus]

Amen
