5088. Because We Are One Family (by Tom Glazer - adapted) Melbourne Unitarian Peace Memorial Church

Описание: My final communal song atr last Sundays's service of the Melbourne Unitarian Peace Memorial Church.

The song "Because All Men Are Brothers" was written by Tom Glazer in 1947 and originally set to the tune of Hans Hassler's "Passion Chorale." It has been adapted as a Unitarian hymn by making a few changes to avoid the apparently sexist language of the original.

Lyrics and chords:
F ................................ C
Because we are one family,
....... C7 .... Dm G7 C
Wherever we may be,
.......... F ............. C
One spirit shall unite us,
.... C7 ..... F .... C7.. F
Forever proud and free,
...... C ....... Dm .... C7
No tyrant shall defeat us,
..... F ..... Gm ….. Am
No evil strike us down,
C7 .. F ............................ C Dm
All those who toil shall greet us
C7 ....................... F .. C7 F
The whole wide world around.

We have a global kinship
For ever hand in hand,
Wherever people suffer
There is my native land,
All others’ fears are my fears,
Red, yellow, white or brown,
All others’ tears are my tears
The whole wide world around.

Let every voice be thunder,
Let every heart be stone,
Until all tyrants perish,
Our work shall not be done;
Let every pain be taken,
The lost years shall be found,
Let slavery’s chain be broken
The whole wide world around.
