Before this truth let every blade of war

Grow dull, and slavery, cowering at the light,

Skulk from the homes of men; instead

Of war bring peace and freedom, love and joy,

And light for man, instead of bondage, whips

And chains. Only one God! the strongest hands

Should help the weak who bend before the blasts

Of life, because if God is only one

Then we are the children of his mighty hand,

And when we best serve man, we also serve
