10. When the Rainbow
Falls from Heaven

    1.
    O when hate and love combine,
    when pain and pleasure merge as one,
    And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair
    Gain is loss and loss is gain,
    the sky is frozen, ice does run
    And the rainbow falls from heaven, I’ll rejoice.

    Refrain:
    When the rainbow falls from heaven,
    When the rainbow falls from heaven,
    When the rainbow falls from heaven,
    When the rainbow falls from heaven, I’ll rejoice.

    2.
    When the day is night and night is day,
    the TV finally dark,
    Four-wheel, two-ton monsters guzzle gas no more,
    Hungry drilling rigs are banished
    from every national park,
    When the rainbow falls from heaven, I’ll rejoice.

    Refrain.

Traditional Title: When the Roll Is Called up Yonder.
New Words: Douglas Milburn.
