Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Brotherhood; God; Love
Peace and Goodwill toward men He came to teach—
A Universal Brotherhood in Christ—
Of Time when Love shall mitigate war's breach,
And nations in leagued amity subsist,—
Of Law that shall for ever co-exist
With God—and our conceptions of the right
Be ruled in presence of the Eternal Light!
