God give us love
To check the battle's ruthless rain.
And bring again to life the slain;
To make the paths of peace more plain.
God give us love.
God give us love
To make the flowers bloom more sweet
Along the ways where childish feet
Must tread, the claims of life to meet.
God give us love.
God give us love
To lift a brother who is down.
To whom the world seems sere and brown.
Be this our hope, our joy, our crown.
God give us love.
God give us love to speed the day
When brotherhood can win its way.
And Love alone shall have full sway.
God give us love.
