A noble life, a simple faith, An open heart and and hand

A noble life, a simple faith, An open heart and and hand

Author: A. S. Isaacs
Tune: HUMMEL (Zeuner)
Published in 14 hymnals

Representative Text

1 A noble life, a simple faith,
An open heart and hand—
These are the lovely litanies
Which all men understand.

2 These are the firm-knit bonds of grace,
Though hidden to the view,
Which bind in sacred brotherhood
All men the whole world through.

3 The cries of clashing creeds are heard,
On every side they sound,
But no age is degenerate
In which such lives are found.

4 A noble life, a simple faith,
An open heart and hand—
These are the lovely litanies
Which all men understand.
