All people of the earth Share in one common birth One common destiny One sun shines o'er us all, Alike we rise and fall One night will spread its pall Eternally. Great God of the earth, Lead us to know the worth of sympathy May fellowship increase, May all contention cease O may we dwell in peace and unity.

Language: English
Dear Master, in whose life I see All [that]1 I would, but fail to be; Let Thy clear light forever shine, To shame and guide this life of mine. [Though]2 what I dream and what I do In my weak days are always two, Help me, oppressed by things undone, O Thou, whose deeds and dreams were one!

3. Life of Ages  [sung text checked 1 time]
Language: English
Life of ages, richly poured, Love of God, unspent and free, Flowing in the prophet’s word, And the people’s liberty; Breathing in the thinker’s creed; Pulsing in the hero’s blood; Nerving simplest thought and deed; Freshening time with truth and good; Consecrating art and song, Holy book and pilgrim track; Hurling floods of [tyrant]1 wrong From the sacred limits back— Life of ages, richly poured, Love of God, unspent and free, Flow still in the prophet’s word, And the people’s liberty!
