[Verse 1]

     C
The turning earth will raise its wand

     C                                  G7
And bring the seasons to their fruitful end

     G7
And little men and trains will crawl

     G7                                  C
And snake their way around the timeless bend

     C
And rivers, too, will course their way

    C                             G7
To find the hungry Mother Sea at last

     G7                               C
And love will grow - it will come to pass

[Verse 2]

     C
The sun will blaze its scorching path

   C                               G7
Across the sky a million times or more

     G7
And men with charts will scan the skies

    G7                              C
In quest of life on some forgotten shore

    C
And in the quiet womb the sleeping seed

      C                            G7
Will stretch its arms and grow at last

     G7                               C
And love will grow - it will come to pass

[Bridge]

G7               C    F
It will come to pass

[Verse 3]

        C
Though men and minds and times will change

       C                                G7
Still pinioned they by fears of growing old

        G7
Though scalpeled hands will plumb the deepest corners

                    C
None will find the soul

 C
Yet bearded men in sandwich boards

 C                                          G7
Will tell the sinful streets "He's Come At Last"

     G7                              C
And love will grow, it will come to pass
