thanks for posting this, Fern. I memorized all the verses 5 or so years ago on my early morning walk so I could sing it in church (our church sings it often) without looking at the words. it wasn't easy, but worth the work: By recalling g them or singing to myself, I can now lift my spirits on walks or anytime I need to.

This song rings of past bravery, vision and of youth as it bolsters present struggles and our determination for freer tomorrows. What a supreme choice for church singing, MaryB of Pasadena.
there should be more places that practice radical inclusion and work toward truth and justice. All Saints-Pasadena: "We are committed to audacious examination and challenging of power and privilege in the world and in our church to pursue truth relentlessly not for retribution but toward trust and reconciliation. We choose love over fear to overcome prejudice and promote healing to redress oppression and to restore environmental equilibrium." Idealistic? Optimistic? Of course!
