When will it ever come?

Hatred and strife

Are with us far too long

Come and so bless us

With Your loving grace

Wellspring of Kindness

Help the human race.

I know that You see,

Hear and care and love

But when will things be

As they are above?

Sweetness and gentleness

Concern for all on earth

This should our life's work

Be, as from our birth.

Teach us and guide us,

Help us to evolve

Into that Goodness

'Round which we all revolve.
