"Mine eyes have seen the glory
 Of the coming of the Lord
 You are speaking truth to power
 You are laying down the sword
 Replanting every vinyard
 Til a brand new wine is poured
 Your peace will make us one."

If you find a link to the full lyrics, could you post it, please?

So far, the one recording of it I've found is terrible -- from what little I can hear, the *performance* was very good, but the recording quality is awful.

The full lyrics are at the original link, though alas as a picture of a page instead of as copyable text. https://twitter.com/audreyassad/status/1084284565173227520

I do hope a better recording gets made.

I typed it out:
"Mine eyes have seen the glory
Of the coming of the Lord
You are speaking truth to power
You are laying down the sword
Replanting every vinyard
Til a brand new wine is poured
Your peace will make us one.

I've seen you in our home fires
Burning with a quiet light
You are mothering and feeding
In the wee hours of the night
Your gentle love is patient
You will never fade or tire
Your peace will make us one.

In the beauty of the lilies
You were born across the sea
With a glory in your bosom
That is still transfiguring
Dismantling our empires
'Til each one of us is free
Your peace will make us one.

Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Your peace will make us one."

I tried recording it myself, but my voice is a little rough; it's been a long week.
