Buddhists and Christians and Muslims
    Jews and Taoists and Hindus

we stand together
    eyes upward
arms outstretched
    voices united

we await your arrival
    source, godhead
joy of all joy, love of all love

let our tears clear our vision
    let our sobs clear our souls

we are dazzled, awestruck
    at your approach

creator of all
    finisher of the poem

win us
    transform us
one us

welcome
    welcome
