Our Father! Thy Dear Name Doth Show

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.
