Refrain
Walk on, O people of God; walk on, O
People of God! A new law, God’s new
alliance, all creation is reborn. Walk on,
O people of God; walk on, O people of God!
 
Camina, pueblo de Dios, camina, pueblo
de Dios. Nueva ley, nueva alianza, en
la nueva creación. Camina, pueblo de
Dios, camina, pueblo de Dios.
 
1.Look on Calvary’s summit; on the rock
there towers a cross; death that gives birth
to new living, a new people, a new light.
Christ has brought us salvation with his
death and rising again. Everything comes
To new birthing, all creation is reborn.
Refrain
 
2.Christ takes into his body all our sin,
enslavement, and pain; as he destroys
them he brings us life’s abundance, life’s
new joy. Christ brings reconciliation to all
things and people with God. Nature bursts
into new flowering, all creation is reborn.
Refrain
