SONG OF HUMANITY

---------------
"Remember them that are in bonds."
----------------

IN the God of truth be strong!
     For the truth shall perish never,
     Nor the weak be crushed for ever -
Right shall triumph over wrong!
     Cherish, then, our bond of union -
     Live in brotherly communion -
     Love our neighbour - help our brother -
     With our watchword cheer each other -
"Be strong!"
In the God of truth be strong
  "BE STRONG!"
In the God of truth be Strong!

In the cause of man press on!
     Let new sympathy be kindled
     In the breast where love hath dwindled,
Until warmth of soul he won!
     Here upon our common altar,
     With true hearts that ne'er shall falter,
     Let us pledge our life's devotion
     To humanity's promotion -

  Press on!
In the cause of man press on!

Man is destined to be free !
     Free from slavery's aggression -
     Free from tyranny's oppression -
And from cheerless poverty;
     Free from prejudice and error -
     Free from vice, the greatest terror:

  Fear not!
Man is destined to be free!
