We’ve got some super people in our office, Lord.

All Australians, but,

Greek, Italian, English, Scottish, New Zealanders,

Sri Lankan, Egyptian, Lebanese, Chinese,

Macedonian, Jordanian –

And it keeps going in the wider team –

Irish, American, Indian, Philippine, German.

I’m sure there are many more.

If I find this multicultural society exciting, Lord,

How much more exhilarating can heaven be?

To join in praise with an Eskimo, Polynesian,

Nigerian, Mexican, and Mongolian;

With people from other ages –

The seven Churches, Roman Britons,

Christian settlers from North Africa and India,

Puritans, Shakers, Huguenots, Catholic and Orthodox.

And we’ll all sing with one voice.

“Holy, Holy, is the Lord!” [1]
