In Brotherhood with All

by Benjamin Copeland 1855–1940

From Niagara, and Other Poems (1904)

Religion

O Christ, the light of all that live,
In heaven above, in earth beneath,
To all Thou dost Thy blessing give,
In brotherhood with all that breathe.

In brotherhood with all that breathe!
Redeemer, Saviour, Thee we laud,
And thy dear cross with glory wreathe,
O Son of Mary! Son of God!

Thy loving spirit, Jesus, give
To us who serve Thee here beneath,
That we, henceforth, like Thee may live
In brotherhood with all that breathe.
