"The Flame" lyrics - BETH NIELSEN CHAPMAN

O come ye now unto the flame
Keep it through the night
Nourish it and share its warmth
And spend its precious light
The torch is passed among us all
To help us understand
A covenant of brotherhood
That joins our open hand

We are standing at the edge
Faced with just one choice
Teach each other to be kind
And let our hearts rejoice
As different as we seem to be
We are still the same
Divided by our separate walls
But joined before the flame

O come ye now unto the flame
Keep it through the night
Shelter and embrace it's warmth
And spend it's precious light
The darkness makes us all afraid
But we are not along
The beacon of our common love
Will guide our journey home
