1. Humankind, the work of God,
Was created to be one.
We are all a family,
Each with work which must be done.
All one blood beneath the sun;
All one blood beneath the sun.

2. But with roots of human sin
Thrusting deep into the heart,
Prejudice and pride of place
Wall us off, keep us apart.
Contacts die before they start,
Contacts die before they start.

3. Then came Christ, and by the cross
Showed us peace and human worth.
In a world of unbelief
He brings faith and love to birth.
His command: Remake the earth.
His command: Remake the earth.

4. We who share glory and shame,
One in Jesus, we and you,
Firmly bound in faith and hope,
Let us dare and let us do!
Pierce the dark, let the light through!
Pierce the dark, let the light through!
