Liverpool Oratorio Movement 8: Peace [Dutch translation]

[SHANTY]................................................video from 128.03

And so it was that you were born

Into this world one winter morning

With a childish innocence you smiled at me

And I was born again

[BOY SOLO]

Non nobis solum

Sed toti mundo

[BOYS' CHOIR]

Nati

Mundo nati

[BOY SOLO]

Toti mundo nati

[MEN'S Chorus]

God is good

And He will be our savior

All we need

Is in His power to give us

Let the light that lies within

His heart

Illuminate our being

[FULL Chorus]

God is good

And with this thought to guide us

We will live

In joyful contemplation

Let the love that lives within your heart

Illuminate your being

[PREACHER]

What people want is a family life

The strength of a home and a moat round the castle

Pull up the drawbridge

Staying at home with the family

All people want is a family life

Sometimes they find that it isn't so easy

People can argue

Life can be hard on a family

[BASSES]

Mum's in the kitchen, she won't speak to Dad

[ALTOS]

Uncle's ashamed of the good time he had

[TENORS]

Brothers and sisters are lifting the roof

With the music they play all night

[PREACHER]

But people still want a family life

Nothing replaces the love and affection

Pull up the drawbridge

Tempers are frayed, but it's like that

[ALTOS]

Don't be dismayed if it's like that

[BASSES]

Like that

[PREACHER]

You're not obeyed but you like that -family life

[BOYS and ALTOS]

God is good

In Him we'll live for ever

Satisfied

Inside His grace and glory

[FULL Chorus]

Safe and sound

In His eternal love

We have found salvation

[NURSE]

Dad's In the garden, he won't speak to M

[MARY DEE]

Mother

[NURSE]

Uncle's in bed with a pain in his

[SHANTY]

The Devil is evil

[PREACHER]

And God is good

[MARY DEE]

The Devil is evil

[SHANTY]

With a D

[MARY DEE]

And God is good

[SHANTY]

Without an O

[MARY DEE and NURSE]

God is good without an O

[SHANTY and PREACHER]

0

[MARY DEE and NURSE]

And so we are grateful for harmony

For we will be faithful

[SHANTY and PREACHER]

Eternally

[MARY DEE, NURSE, SHANTY and PREACHER]

(Ah)

[FULL Chorus]

(Ah)

God is good

The universal savior

Trust in Him

To lead us through the darkness

Live in love and when the battle's won

[MARY DEE and NURSE]

Live in peace

[SHANTY and PREACHER]

Live in peace

[FULL Chorus]

Live in peace for ever

[SOLO QUARTET]

Live in peace

ALL Live in peace together

[SHANTY]

So on and on the story goes

From day to day throughout our lives

[MARY DEE]

What can we do

That's how it grows

I am with you

[MARY DEE and SHANTY]

Our love survives
