EXPLANATION OF THE GLOSSING SYSTEM
(to understand how I describe the signs in this translation).

1. BRING GOD HIS-ctr WORD WITH (2h)YOU EVERY PLACE. USE GOD HIS-ctr WORD IDEA~LIKE SEED WATCH GROW.

Refrain: HAPPEN LEAVE, ||: HAVE PEACE INSIDE-SELF SERVE WORLD. :|| BRING ||: GOD HIS-lf L-O-V-E :|| WITH (2h)YOU EVERY PLACE. Refrain

2. BRING GOD HIS-ctr PEACE WITH (2h)YOU EVERY PLACE. USE GOD HIS-ctr PEACE IDEA~LIKE SEED WATCH GROW. Refrain

3. BRING GOD HIS-ctr alt.HAPPY WITH (2h)YOU EVERY PLACE. USE GOD HIS-ctr alt.HAPPY IDEA~LIKE SEED WATCH GROW. Refrain

4. BRING GOD HIS-lf L-O-V-E WITH (2h)YOU EVERY PLACE. USE GOD HIS-lf L-O-V-E IDEA~LIKE SEED WATCH GROW. Refrain

(Some add other verses such as "faith," hope," to replace "word" in verse 1.)


Notes: IDEA~LIKE - a blending where IDEA has a [Y] instead of an [I] in anticipation of LIKE which - signed smoothly right afterwards.

GROW - To make it more visually interesting, spiral the DH up at moderate speed through the NDH while signing GROW.

SEED - [O^], PO down, FO away, moves away while closing to an [A] repeating in rows perpendicular to the chest.

The signs between "||:" and ":||" are to be repeated.

INSIDE-SELF - The FT of [C] are held against the chest and stuff the FT of [O^] into the [C] twice.

Lyrics:

1. Take the word of God with you as you go. Take the seeds of God's word and make them grow.

Refrain: Go in peace to serve the world, in peace to serve the world. Take the love of God, the love of God with you as you go.

2. Take the peace of God with you as you go. Take the seeds of God's peace and make them grow.

3. Take the joy of God with you as you go. Take the seeds of God's joy and make them grow.

4. Take the love of God with you as you go. Take the seeds of God's love and make them grow.
