Almighty father, who dost give
The gift of life to all who live
Look down on all earth’s sin and strife
And lift us to a nobler life
Lift up our hearts, oh, king of kings
To brighter hopes and kindlier things
To visions of a larger good
And holier dreams of brotherhood
Thy world is weary of its pain
Of selfish greed and fruitless gain
Of tarnished honor, falsely strong
And all its ancient deeds of wrong
Hear thou the prayer thy servants pray
Uprising from all lands today
And o’er the vanquished powers of sin
O bring thy great salvation in
