Through Love's benevolence we wake to know
God's saving presence, power, and purity,
And see the Christ, Truth, heal—as long ago—
With like compassion and sincerity.
May all mankind share in this gift anew,
And climb the pathway up His holy hill—
To glimpse the clearer, higher, Christlike view
That heals, inspires, and conquers human will.
Then ever rising meekly in the light
To end the bondage of all mortal sense,
We find a world redeemed by wisdom's might
Through loving patience and benevolence.
