Endless ages passed us by
as we left this land to die.
Softly weeping, still believing,
she carried us to new birth.
Now behold this wondrous light!
Now behold its radiance bright,
softly spreading its warmth and its rays
to every end of the earth.
In this silence, still we stand
to await thy true command.
Let warring cease, let flesh retire,
let our will bend to your word.
Heart of power, brought to life
in the heat of our strife,
sing your song, so long forgotten,
sing your song, so long unheard.
O, by thine outstretched arm,
save those who would do no harm
and still the ways of those who strive
to hurt the earth once more.
Till we reach the end of time,
blossomed over with love and light,
sing your song, so long forgotten,
and bless the earth once more.
Light, shine down, spread your rays far and wide!
Light, descend as streams on dry earth!
Light, shine down, spread your rays far and wide,
and banish the darkness away.
Light, descend as streams on dry earth,
and brighten the path again!
