I
Proud each nation's noble story,
Home defended, warriors bold,
Prouder still their common glory
When in peace our world we hold
Sovereign states whose high devotion
Long each country spent alone.
Joining over land and ocean
For the world they make their own.
II
World of peace, where wealth and beauty
Safe at last may spread and grow,
Strong in justice, clear in duty,
Wise in all the good we know
Freedom for our lives unfolding,
Honor for all service done,
Highest gain each land is holding,
Ours, when all the world is one.
III
Light at last on our confusion,
Clear at last our human plan,
Bright and free from all illusion
Shines the rising hope of man
Crown of all the climbing ages,
Goal of all the road we trod,
Grows on earth a social body
Worthy of the soul of God.
