All life is one, and that one God;
Man’s shepherd, He, whose staff and rod
They comfort all who heavenward climb.
His processes span aeons—count time
As nothing.

All life is one: man cannot love
With his whole heart the God above
And hate his fellow man, for each
Is universal life. God teach
Us wisdom.

All life is one: man cannot climb
To realms of good, reach heights sublime,
By using as his stepping stone
A brother’s weal; God made them one
In essence.

All life is one: he needs no creed
Who lovingly another’s need
Fulfills, in purity of heart.
This true religion is—the art
Of living.

All life is one: man’s fierce travail
But quickens growth, unless he fail
A purpose thru all pain to see:
Love’s guiding hand—eternity
To reckon.

All life is one: eternal youth
Thru knowledge of this mighty truth
Is man’s reward. There is no death
Save that of self, to him who ’neath
All, sees God.

All life is one; yes, every race
Must true world consciousness embrace;
United, see the Christ in all
God’s children. Thus His kingdom shall
Be hastened.
