Author: C. H. Richards Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #497 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Our Father! Thy dear Name doth show
The greatness of Thy love;
All are Thy children here below
As in Thy heaven above.
One family on earth are we
Throughout its wildest span:
O help us everywhere to see
The brotherhood of man.
2 Alike we share Thy tender care;
We trust one heavenly Friend;
Before one mercy-seat in prayer
In confidence we bend;
Alike we hear Thy loving call;
One heavenly vision scan,
One Lord, one faith, one faith for all,
The brotherhood of man.
3 Bring in, we pray, the glorious day
When battle cries are stilled;
When bitter strife is swept away
And hearts with love are filled.
O help us banish pride and wrong,
Which since the world began
Have marred its peace; help us make strong
The brotherhood of man.
4 Close knit the warm fraternal tie
That makes the whole world one;
Our discords change to harmony
Like angel-songs begun:
At last, upon that brighter shore
Complete Thy glorious plan,
And heaven shall crown for evermore
The brotherhood of man. Topics: General Brotherhood, Service, Guilds, Parochial Missions Languages: English Tune Title: GABRIEL
