Lord of All Hopefulness - Matthew Glandorf, Peter Richard Conte & Saint Clement's Choir, Philadelphia

Lord of all hopefulness, Lord of all joy Whose trust ever child-like, no cares could destroy Be there at our waking and give us, we pray Your bliss in our hearts, Lord, at the break of the day Lord of all eagerness, Lord of all faith Whose strong hands were skilled at the plane and the lathe Be there at our labours and give us, we pray Your strength in our hearts, Lord, at the noon of the day Lord of all kindliness, Lord of all grace Your hands swift to welcome, your arms to embrace Be there at our homing and give us, we pray Your love in our hearts, Lord, at the eve of the day Lord of all gentleness, Lord of all calm Whose voice is contentment, whose presence is balm Be there at our sleeping and give us, we pray Your peace in our hearts, Lord, at the end of the day

Lord of all Of the heights where faith can lift the trusting heart Lord of all Of the depths where fear would tear such faith apart Lord of all Of the nations quick to anger, bearing arms Lord of all Of each child held by its mother, safe from harm Chorus Lord of all Of all seen and unseen things Of a universe that sings and calls You Lord of all Lord of all Of the power not to sin You have always been And always will be Lord of all Lord of all Of a peace that we can draw with every breath Lord of all Of provision for each need in life and death Lord of all Of the turnings of the seasons and the earth Lord of all Of the love that purchased man a second birth Repeat Chorus to end

Just like Philadelphia Freedom means a lot to me In between the place I've been And where I'm going I can see America Trying not to show her age Even though the winds of change Keep on blowing And I would lay your body down and rock your tears away But it's much too late for now to be like yesterday And the time is running out and we still have to say Goodbye Remember Philadelphia When the world was young and warm So in love and living for Everything new But I know, Philadelphia The winter wind will slowly take Your heart and soul until it makes Nothing of you And I would lay your body down and rock your tears away But it's much too late for now to be like yesterday And the time is running out and we still have to say Goodbye Flash a peace sign, take a bow Though we may not know it now Things are never gonna be the same Here on Seventh Avenue I tip my old top hat to you I hope you find somebody who Will love you like I do 'Cause I would lay your body down and rock your tears away But it's much too late for now to be like yesterday And the time is running out and we still have to say Goodbye Goodbye
