He shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
Isaiah 2:4

Music: Vom Himmel hoch Geistliche Lieder, by Valentin Schumann (Leipzig, Germany: 1539). Harmony by Johann S. Bach (🔊 pdf nwc).

Come, children of tomorrow, come!
New glory dawns upon the world;
The warring banners must be furled,
The earth become our common home.
From plain and field and town there sound
The stirring rumors of the day;
Old wrongs and burdens must make way
For all to tread the common ground.
Divided we have long withstood
The love that is our common speech.
The comrade cry of each to each
Is calling us to humanhood.
