Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807 - 92 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #539 (1958) Hymnal Title: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America Lyrics: 1 O brother man, fold to thy heart thy brother!
Where pity dwells, the peace of God is there;
To worship rightly is to love each other,
Each smile a hymn, each kindly deed a prayer.
2 Follow with reverent steps the great example
Of him whose holy work was doing good;
So shall the wide earth seem our Father's temple,
Each loving life a psalm of gratitude.
3 Then shall all shackles fall; the stormy clangor
Of wild war-music o'er the earth shall cease;
Love shall tread out the baleful fire of anger,
And in its ashes plant the tree of peace.
