CANTICLE OF THE TURNINGMy soul cries out with a joyful shout that the God of myheart is great, and my spirit sings of the wondrous thingsthat you bring to the ones who wait. You fixed your sight onyour servant's plight and my weakness you did not spurn,so from east to west shall my name be blestcould the world be about to turn?REFRAIN:My heart shall sing of the day you bring.Let the fires of your justice burn. Wipe away all tears forthe dawn draws near. And the world is about to turn!Though I am small, my God, my all, you work great thingsin me, and your mercy will last from the depthsof the past to the end of the age to be. Your very name putsthe proud to shame and to those who would for you yearn.You will show your might put the strong to flight, for theworld is about to turn.REFRAINFrom the halls of power to the fortress tower, not a stonewill be left on stone. Let the king beware for your justicetears ev'ry tyrant from his throne. The hungry poor shallweep no more for the food they can never earn; there aretables spread, ev'ry mouth be fed for the world is about toturn.REFRAINThough the nations rage from age to age, we rememberwho holds us fast; God's mercy must deliver us from theconqueror's crushing grasp. This saving word that outforebears heard is the promise which holds us bound, 'til the spear and rod can be crushed by God,who is turningthe world around.REFRAINGATHERING SONG3
