To whom all truth and power belong,
Grant us your truth to make us wise;
Grant us your power to make us strong.
To whom all truth and power belong,
Grant us your truth to make us wise;
Grant us your power to make us strong.

to the skies Our monuments of folly soar,
And all our self-wrought miseries
Have made us trust ourselves the more.

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.
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.
How shall we follow in your way?
Speak to mankind your words of life,
Until our darkness turns to day.
