Lyrics

Now is the time approaching,
by prophets long foretold,
when all shall dwell together,
secure and manifold.
Let war be learned no longer,
let strife and tumult cease,
all each a blessed garden,
to please the god of peace.

Let all that now divides us remove and pass away,
like mists of early morning
beneath the blaze of day.
Let all that now unites us
more sweet and lasting prove,
a closer bond of union, in blessed lands of love.

O longexpected dawning,
come with your cheering ray!
Yet shall the promise beckon
and lead us not astray.
O sweet anticipation!
It cheers the watchers on
to pray, and hope, and labor,
till all our work is done.
