1. O God, of all the Maker,
Thy gift as seer display,
Reveal to us the glory
Of They longpromised day.
Is not the time approaching,
By prophets long foretold,
When all shal dwell together
One Shepherd and one fold?
2. May all that now divides us
Resolve and pass afar
Like shadows flee with darkness
Before the morning star.
May faith in man grow stronger,
May strife and discord cease,
The scar of war effacing
Thro' harmony and peace.
3. Tomorrow, O, tomorrow
What hope we have in thee
To gain the crowning beauty
Of what is yet to be.
When all the world about us
Shall evermore improve,
When high and low combining
As brothers onward move.
4. Tomorrow, O, tomorrow
Replete with wholesome joy,
No more shall pain and sorrow
Humanity annoy.
In sweet anticipation
We bear the hard delay
To share with all creation
Thy long, longpromised day.
