Join hands then, Brothers of the Faith, Whatever your race may be!-- Who serves my Father as a son Is surely kin to me.
In Christ now meet both East and West, In Him meet South and North, All Christly souls are one in Him, Throughout the whole wide earth.
Not for one single day Can I discern my way, But this I surely know,-- Who gives the day, Will show the way, So I securely go.
O God, within whose sight All men have equal right To worship Thee. Break every bar that holds Thy flock in diverse folds! Thy Will from none withholds Full liberty.
Lord, set Thy Churches free From foolish rivalry! Lord, set us free! Let all past bitterness Now and for ever cease, And all our souls possess Thy charity!
Lord, set the people free! Let all men draw to Thee In unity! Thy temple courts are wide, Therein let all abide In peace, and side by side, Serve only Thee!
God, grant us now Thy peace! Bid all dissensions cease! God, send us peace! Peace in True Liberty, Peace in Equality, Peace and Fraternity, God, send us peace!
Let no man stand between my God and me! I claim a Free man's right Of intercourse direct with Him, Who gave me Freedom with the air and light. God made me free.-- Let no man stand between Me and my liberty!
We need no priest to tell us God is Love.-- Have we not eyes to see, And minds to apprehend, and hearts That leap responsive to His Charity? God's gifts are free.-- Let no man stand between Us and His liberty!
We need no priest to point a way to heaven.-- God's heaven is here,--is there,-- Man's birthright, with the light and air,-- "God is His own and best interpreter." His ways are free.-- Let no man stand between Us and His liberty!
Let no man strive to rob us of this right! For this, from age to age, Our fathers did a mighty warfare wage, And, by God's help, we'll keep our heritage! God says--"Be Free!" And we,-- "NO MAN SHALL STAND BETWEEN OUR SONS AND LIBERTY!"
Long the road, Till Love came down it! Dark the life, Till Love did crown it! Dark the life, And long the road, Till Love came To share the load! For the touch Of Love transfigures All the road And all its rigours. Life and Death, Love's touch transfigures. Life and Death And all that lies In between, Love sanctifies. Once the heavenly spark is lighted, Once in love two hearts united, Nevermore Shall aught that was be As before.
