In labour all creation groans till fear and
hatred cease, till human hearts have understood:
in Christ alone is peace.
In labour all creation groans till unjust
wages cease, till poor are clothed and children fed
and Christ becomes their peace.
In labour all creation groans till prejudice
shall cease, till blind to gender, race and creed,
in Christ we find our peace.
In labour all creation groans till violent crime
shall cease, till force gives way to gentleness
and Christ becomes our peace.
