Hymn of Universal Harmony, 1858. Music by Jullien. Translated from the French by Desmond Ryan. 'Behold, a brighter morning Than e'er in Heav'n had birth Awakes, and gives glad warning Of Love and Joy on earth. Now Freedom o'er the world her banner waving, Proclaims great Nature's Law - her high Design; With trumpet tongue Commotion's storm out-braving, In concord bids all nations to combine, In concord bids all nations to combine; Dispels the darkling fears mankind enslaving, and links all hears in harmony divine. Sing, let's sing, and waft the blessing Below, around, above; Ev'ry heart expressing Peace, Unity and Love. Ye pow'rs of ev'ry nation! Heav'n's sacred light receive! One grand confederation Of Brotherhood achieve! Then Art shall reign; War, Strife, Ambition ended, And wing'd by knowledge man shall claim the skies; Love, Peace, and Harmony eternal blended, Triumphant Truth and Justice shall arise, Triumphant Truth and Justice shall arise; Till Terror fled, and Grief and Woe suspended, Shall make of earth a glorious Paradise. Sing etc'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
