LONG IS OUR WINTER

(text by Eleanor Walker, music by Theophil Rothenberg)

Long is our winter, dark is our night
O come set us free, o sa-aving light.

Long is our winter, dark is our night
O come set us free, o sa-aving light.

Come set us free, o saving light.
O come dwell among us, o sa-a-aving light.
