Let Justice Flow Like Streams

LET justice flow like streams
Of sparkling water, pure,
Enabling growth, refreshing life,
Abundant, cleansing sure.

Let righteousness roll on
As others' cares we heed,
An everflowing stream of faith
Translated into deed.

So may God's plumbline, straight,
Define our measure true,
And justice, right and peace pervade
This world our whole life through.

-- Jane Parker Huber, 1984.
