There will come a day when sorrow fades away

And anguish and heartache shall ease

No mothers crying no soldiers dying

And turmoil and misery shall cease



The hungry shall be fed the aimless shall be led

And sad eyes will no longer weep

The last shall be first through heaven he'll burst

With his heavenly host from the east



Weapons to plowshares hate turns to love

Descending from heaven he'll sweep down to us

In a radiant splendor oh won't it be sweet

When the raven of darkness turns into a white dove of peace

Raven dove (raven dove)



Oh there will come a day when I'll fly away

Forever to be in his keep

Eternal life in the sweet by and by

When raven dove raven dove speaks



When lambs walk with lions a child tames the beast

Nations shall gather and bow at his feet

And loved ones shall rise up arom their earthly sleep

And he'll separate all the chaff from the wheat

Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah how sweet

When the raven of darkness turns into a white dove of peace

Raven dove (hallelujah) raven dove



Behold he cometh in the clouds and every eye shall see him

Sweet bird sweet bird of peace raven dove
