1. Creator of the earth and skies, To whom all truth and power belong, Grant us your truth to make us wise; Grant us your power to make us strong.

2. We have not known you: to the skies Our monuments of folly soar, And all our self-wrought miseries Have made us trust ourselves the more.

3. We have not loved you: far and wide The wreckage of our hatred spreads, And evils wrought by human pride Recoil on unrepentant heads.

4. We long to end this worldwide strife: How shall we follow in your way? Speak to mankind your words of life, Until our darkness turns to day.
