We would be one (UUSM Vocalists)

We would be one, as we now join in singing

our hymn of love, to pledge ourselves anew
to that high cause of greater understanding
of who we are and what in us is true. 

We would be one in living for each other
to show to all a new community
We would be one in building for tomorrow
a nobler world than we have known today.
We would be one in searching for that meaning
which binds our hearts and points us on our way. 

As one, we pledge ourselves to greater service,
with love and justice, strive to make us free.
