Lyrics
Where is our holy church?
Where race and class unite
as equal persons in the search
for beauty, truth, and right.
Where is our holy writ?
Where’er a human heart
a sacred torch of truth has lit,
by inspiration taught.
Where is our holy One?
A mighty host respond;
the people rise in every land
to break the captive’s bond.
Where is our holy land?
Within the human soul,
wherever free minds truly seek
with character the goal.
Where is our paradise?
In aspiration’s sight,
wherein we hope to see
arise ten thousand years of right.
