1.
Come, children, celebrate and sing
        a song of liberty;
Join hand and heart in sounds of praise
        to God who made us free.

2.
In God the Spirit we are one,
        together bound, but free;
In God’s own image we are made
        to be what each can be.

3.
To each God gives a destiny,
        in paths that none can see;
A life unfolding fresh and free,
        to live creatively.

4.
Praise God who freely gives to all
        abundant life at birth;
Praise God who wills that all shall live
        in dignity and worth.
