English text

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.
