| CHORUS: | It does not matter where or how We came to speak in many voices, What matters now is, though many, we are one. It does not matter where or how We came to have so many colours, What matters now is, though many, we are one. It does not matter where or how We came to have so many cultures, What matters now is, though many, we are one. It does not matter where or how We came to speak in many voices, What matters now is, though many, we are one. |
| READER: |
From the Acts of the Apostles. Now there were devout people living in Jerusalem from every nation under heaven, and at Pentecost they all assembled and heard a mighty noise. Each person was bewildered to hear the Apostles speaking his own language. They were amazed and astonished. "Surely" they said "all these men speaking are Galileans? How does it happen that each one of us hears them in his own native language? Pathians, Medes and Elamites; people from Mesopotamia, Judaea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya around Cyrene; as well as visitors from Rome - Cretans and Arabs; we hear them preaching in our own language about the marvels of God." THIS WAS PENTECOST. THIS WAS THE END OF THE TOWER OF BABEL. |
