Thy love, O God, has all mankind created,
And led thy people to this present hour;
In Christ we see love’s glory consummated;
Thy Spirit manifests his living power.
We bring thee, Lord,
in fervent intercession
The children of thy world-wide family;
With contrite hearts
we offer our confession,
For we have sinned against thy charity.
From out the darkness
of our hope’s frustration,
From all the broken idols of our pride,
We turn to seek thy truth’s illumination,
And find thy mercy waiting at our side.
In pity look upon thy children’s striving
For life and freedom,
peace and brotherhood;
Till at the fulness of thy truth arriving,
We find in Christ the crown of every good.
Inspire thy church,
mid earth’s discordant voices,
To preach the gospel of her Lord above;
Until the day this warring world rejoices
To hear the mighty harmonies of love—
Until the tidings earth has long awaited,
From north to south,
from east to west shall ring;
And all the world, by Jesus liberated,
Proclaims in jubilation: Christ is King!
