bridge across all that divides us and God.

We have caught the vision splendidOf a world which is to be,When the pardoning love of JesusFreely flows from sea to sea,When all men from strife and anger,Greed and selfishness are free,When the nations live togetherIn sweet peace and harmony.

We would help to build the cityOf our God, so wondrous fair;Give our time, bring all our talents,And each gift of beauty rare,Powers of mind, and strength of purpose,Days of labour, nights of strain,That God's will may be accomplished,O'er the kingdoms he shall reign.
