Child of God, how fair thy heritage!
E'en all that's pure and beautiful and good,
And only good!
Child of God, how bright thy promise is;
For all of love is thine to live,
And bless withal!
Child of God, arise and claim thine own!
Fulfillment of the promise is at hand;
Look round about,—the fields are whitening.
Go, use thy gift!
Child of God, now thy dominion take,
That all unlike thy Father be no more;
Then shall the earth yield good,
And good alone!
Ah, child of God, how fair thy heritage!
