Author: Clifford Bax, b. 1886 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #348 (1958) Topics: Church Life and Work City, Nation, World Lyrics: 1 Turn back, O man, forswear thy foolish ways.

Age after age their tragic empires rise, Built while they dream, and in that dreaming weep: Would man but wake from out his haunted sleep, Earth might be fair, and all men glad and wise. 3 Earth shall be fair, and all her people one; Nor till that hour shall God's whole will be done. Now, even now, once more from earth to sky, Peals forth in joy man's old, undaunted cry, 'Earth shall be fair, and all her folk be one!' Languages: English Tune Title: OLD 124th
