THE SONG OF NATIONS, by                    
First Line: Wherever nations come together
Last Line: Nations rise as one in glory.
Subject(s): Nations


Wherever nations come together,
With a friendship now so rare,
Blessed be the place forever
And what was transacted there.

Knots of friendship not to sever,
Stronger than the strongest metal
Arms and troops of friends will never
Serve disputes and hate to settle.

The greatest thing the earth has known
Is freedom from the raging flood,
Where the seeds of hate have sown
And reaped in the form of the shed of blood.

All the hidden love release
And tell the world its mighty story.
Ever for the cause of peace,
Nations rise as one in glory.
