Verse 1
C
The turning earth will raise its wand
C G7
And bring the seasons to their fruitful end
G7
And little men and trains will crawl
G7 C
And snake their way around the timeless bend
C
And rivers, too, will course their way
C G7
To find the hungry Mother Sea at last
G7 C
And love will grow - it will come to pass
Verse 2
C
The sun will blaze its scorching path
C G7
Across the sky a million times or more
G7
And men with charts will scan the skies
G7 C
In quest of life on some forgotten shore
C
And in the quiet womb the sleeping seed
C G7
Will stretch its arms and grow at last
G7 C
And love will grow - it will come to pass
Bridge
G7 C F
It will come to pass
Verse 3
C
Though men and minds and times will change
C G7
Still pinioned they by fears of growing old
G7
Though scalpeled hands will plumb the deepest corners
C
None will find the soul
C
Yet bearded men in sandwich boards
C G7
Will tell the sinful streets "He's Come At Last"
G7 C
And love will grow, it will come to pass
