Beloved Community of God

1 Beloved community of God,
in vision seen, a perfect whole;
all that we have we pledge to thee,
our pow'rs of body, mind, and soul.

2 The healthy frame, the steady nerve,
the active pulse of flesh and blood,
with these we dedicate to thee
our manhood and our womanhood.

3 All gains of skill and fruits of thought,
whate'er we know, whate'er we feel,
humbly we bring that we may prove
true servants of the common weal.

4 Fair visions of the good and true
wrought into speech and kindly deed,
these be our sacrament of love,
our witness to the Christly creed.

5 King of the kingdom of our dreams,
from dreams we turn to take our part
in that beloved community
where love is law in every heart.
