To build a world of brutal force
Through ages men have fought
And fang and claw have been the law
By which their will has wrought
O Nations all! O Nations all!
God calls from deadly strife
Let reason reign and right obtain
Make love the law of life
For war has blighted ev'ry land
Has bred an evil brood
Outlived on earth its day of worth
And scorns all brotherhood
O Nations all! O Nations all!
God calls that war must cease
Be love the power in this new hour
That leads the world to peace
On through the years let Christ control
With noble courage lead
Our lives expand beneath His hand
To serve all human need
O Nations all! O Nations all!
God calls that Christlike way
Goodwill to dower each race with power
That peace may reign for aye

O Pioneer of boundless Life
Thy trail doth lure us all
To Thee we turn, O may we learn
To heed Thy onward call
O Nations all! O Nations all!
God calls to ev'ry race
Let love abound the world around
And crown mankind with peace
