Our Fa­ther! Thy dear name doth show
The great­ness of Thy love;
All are Thy children here below
As in Thy Heav’n ab­ove.
One fa­mi­ly on earth are we
Throughout its wid­est span:
O help us ev­ery­where to see
The bro­ther­hood of man.

Alike we share Thy tender care;
We trust one heav’n­ly friend;
Before one mer­cy-seat in pray­er
In con­fi­dence we bend;
Alike we hear Thy lov­ing call;
One heav’n­ly vi­sion scan,
One Lord, one faith, one hope for all,
The bro­ther­hood of man.

Bring in, we pray, the glo­ri­ous day
When bat­tle cries are stilled;
When bit­ter strife is swept away
And hearts with love are filled.
O help us ban­ish pride and wrong,
Which since the world be­gan
Have marred its peace; help us make strong
The bro­ther­hood of man.

Close knit the warm fra­ter­nal tie
That makes the whole world one;
Our dis­cords change to har­mo­ny
Like an­gel-songs begun:
At last, up­on that bright­er shore
Complete Thy glor­ious plan,
And Heav’n shall crown for ev­er­more
The bro­ther­hood of man.
