God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants his footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.

Hark! the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King;
Peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!
Joyful all ye nations rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
With th' angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem.

A wind that follows fast
And fills the white and rustling sail
And bends the gallant mast.

On which the prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.

What have they done to the earth, yeah?
What have they done to our fair sister?
Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her
Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn,
And tied her with fences and dragged her down.
I hear a very gentle sound,
With your ear down to the ground
We want the world and we want it
We want the world and we want it
Now.

Now, maybe there's a God above
As for me all I've ever learned from love
Is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
But it's not a cry that you're hear tonight
It's not some pilgrim who claims to have seen the light
No, it's a cold and it's a very broken Hallelujah

I left my heart in San Francisco
High on a hill it calls to me.
To be where little cable cars climb half-way to
the stars,
The morning fog may chill the air-
I don't care!

From ev'ry mountain-side
