17015. A Noble Life

1. A no­ble life, a sim­ple faith,
An op­en heart and hand,
These are the love­ly li­ta­nies
Which all men un­de­rstand.

2. These are the firm-knit bonds of grace,
Though hid­den to the view,
Which bind in sac­red bro­ther­hood
All men the whole world through.

3. The cries of clash­ing creeds are heard,
On ev­ery side they sound,
But no age is de­gen­er­ate
In which such lives are found.

4. A no­ble life, a sim­ple faith,
An op­en heart and hand,
These are the lov­ely li­ta­nies
Which all men un­der­stand.
