This is a much later song from the Weston Priory that was used in the Praise to God hymnal. This is from 1989, so Gregory Norbet was long gone by this stage. Cathy Polinski is noted as a songwriter for the album, Move With One Heart, but whether she wrote this particular song I can’t tell.
The collection is still for sale at the Priory.
Refrain:
Hear, O heavens, and listen, O earth,
for our God speaks to all people.
Cease to do evil and learn to do good.
Make justice your home forever.
- Shelter the oppressed and the homeless,
and share your bread with the hungry.
Release all those bound unjustly,
and hear the widow’s plea.- Revive all spirits dejected,
and heal the hearts of the crush’d.
Open the eyes of the blind,
and strengthen all weary hearts.
