lyrics

The sun shrines bright on the Allegain
Brother David and the mission train
Head west, hard pressed, labor pains
Taking shelter from the pouring rain
Taking shelter from the pouring rain

Two tall trees stand in the sun
Intertwined, they grow as one
From their roots a lifeblood runs
From their roots comes Schoenbrunn
From their roots comes Schoenbrunn

Sister Anne, from the City of Peace
A word of hope for the least of these
A word of truth to bless us with
A word of wisdom from the deaconess
A word of wisdom from the deaconess
John Heckewelder rolling in
A caravan of our Delaware kin
Sing a song to welcome them
The river is wide and the gate is thin
The river is wide and the gate is

Brethren, put your swords away
Let us all give thanks this day
For all the good the Lord has made
A guiding hand that doesn’t wane
A guiding hand that doesn’t wane

Hew the timber, split the wood
Take the hand of brotherhood
Taste and see that the Lord is good
Taste and see that the Lord is good
