Prompt
Create a choral hymn to be sung in four part harmony, from the following lyrics: "What the Lord Requires" (Verse 1) Hear the call, O hearts of nations, God has spoken, clear and true. Not in riches, empty praises, But in love for all we do. (Chorus) Do justice, love mercy, Walk humbly with your God. Lift the lowly, free the burdened, Walk the path the faithful trod. (Verse 2) Shall we bring a thousand rivers, Offer gold or endless grain? No, the Lord desires justice, Hands made clean and hearts made plain. (Chorus) Do justice, love mercy, Walk humbly with your God. Lift the lowly, free the burdened, Walk the path the faithful trod. (Verse 3) Woe to those who build their mansions, Built on greed and hands untrue. Hear the cries of those forgotten, God has set His eyes on you. (Bridge - quiet, reflective) Let the swords be turned to plowshares, Let the feasting fill the land. Every valley raised in glory, Every heart to understand. (Final Chorus - crescendo) Do justice, love mercy, Walk humbly with your God. From the ruins, hope is rising, Walk the path the faithful trod.
