The day will come, crowned as Earth's paradise,
When freed mankind will have one hope, one aim,
One true and perfect Principle, the same
Fountain of living waters, pure and free,
And but one span of life,—Eternity;
One rule alone of Love and this all-wise,—
This day will come, crowned as Earth's paradise.
The day will come, crowned as Earth's paradise,
When bitter tears will all be wiped away
With the sweet peace of Spirit. When the sway
Of human hate is passed, Love's reign is come,
And men have learned to call Love's temple, home.
This day will come,—with each thought purified,
Mankind will waken, strong and glorified.
