Peace, the cherished hope of ages,
Peace secure from hatred's dream—
Fervent hearts in eager watching
See its promise brighter gleam.
Men and nations groping, moving
Toward the universal right,
Mark the dawn of tranquil union,
Gladdening sign of unselfed might.
They who watch and work as brothers
Hope and strive and love mankind,
Help all nations gain true counsel
From one universal Mind.
Power drawn from this fount of wisdom
Unifies and heals all woes;
Mind, the mighty God, is leading
Toward the peace whence plenty flows.
True hearts pledged to warless friendship—
All for each and each for all—
See in purer, widening vision
All the foes of peace shall fall,
Through the power of Christ's concordance,
Conquering fear and greed with good;
Through one Mind, all nations blending
In the bonds of brotherhood.
