We called Heav’n to witness the promise recorded, To make human friendship our mission, And O Thou most High if Thy help be afforded, Success will attend our ambition. Thy blessing command to inspire and assist us, Thy aid that when forces of evil resist us, However determined they will not dismay us,— Thou, Thou wilt repay us.
The fair flag of Hope waves in glory and splendour, Of beauty and goodness the token; The great unseen Power of the world, our defender, Will honour the word he has spoken. The walls of partition that long have divided The peoples—by error and folly misguided— Shall fall; and Love’s empire grow greater and greater From pole to equator.
Note.—Music to the above will appear shortly.
