At Length There Dawns the Glorious Day

At length there dawns the glo­ri­ous day

By pro­phets long fore­told

At length the chor­us clear­er grows

That shep­herds heard of old.

The day of dawn­ing bro­ther­hood

Breaks on our ea­ger eyes

And hu­man hat­reds flee be­fore

The ra­di­ant east­ern skies.

For what are sun­der­ing strains of blood

Or an­cient caste and creed?

One claim unites all men in God

To serve each hu­man need.

Then here to­ge­ther

bro­ther men

We pledge the Lord anew

Our loy­al love

our stal­wart faith

Our serv­ice strong and true.

One com­mon faith unites us all

We seek one com­mon goal;

One ten­der com­fort broods up­on

The strug­gling hu­man soul.

To this clear call of bro­ther­hood

Our hearts re­spons­ive ring

We join the glo­ri­ous new cru­sade

Of our great Lord and king.
