Gathering: 2001 Beechworth Gathering

Author: The Rev. Pam Wylie who wrote the words and music to this Hymn especially for the Beechworth Gathering Ecumenical Service

***

Celebrate the laughter,
Feel the wrench of pain,
Celebrate the creek that flows,
Mourn the flood of rain;
Celebrate beginnings,
Life which comes through pain:
Within all life God lives within:
God lives within and feels with us
Our sense of loss and gain.

Celebrate the gift of life:
Feel the hurt of death:
Celebrate the gift of hope
Mourn the hopelessness:
Celebrate beginnings:
New born baby's cry;
With each new day new hope God brings:
With each new day the gift God brings,
Is hope and strengthened faith.
