1 Lift up our hearts, O King of Kings,
To brighter hopes and kindlier things;
To visions of a larger good,
And holier dreams of brotherhood.
2 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.
3 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 holier life.
Amen.
