God, who through ages past
Guided our human way
Out from the realms of night
Into the fair today,
No gift wilt Thou withhold—
Give us new dreams for old.

All nations claim Thy name,
Yet were they born of hate;
Kill! was their ancient cry:
Good will has come, though late.
Now that war's tale is told,
Give us new dreams for old.

Where battles once raged sore
Lo! Spring is in the air.
O'er all the lands of earth
Hope rears her castles fair.
These days the bards foretold—
Give us new dreams for old.

All men shall brothers be
Throughout the earth.
Love's kingdom dawns at last,
Joy comes at last to birth.
Faith sees an age of gold—
Give us new dreams for old!
