[Verse 1]
D                               G
[tab]         A7          D
Infinite in time and place,

D                         G
Flung the suns in burning radiance

            A7               D
Through the silent fields of space;

D
We, your children, in your likeness,

                            G
Share inventive pow'rs with you;

      D              G
Great Creator, still creating,

        A7              D
Show us what we yet may do.
[Verse 2]
D                       G
Proudly rise our modern cities,

        A7                D
Stately buildings, row on row;

D                         G
Yet their windows, blank, unfeeling,

            A7            D
Stare on canyoned streets below,

D
Where the lonely drift unnoticed

                      G
In the city's ebb and flow,

        D              G
Lost to purpose and to meaning,

         A7                D
Scarcely caring where they go.
[Verse 3]
D                          G
We have ventured worlds undreamed of

          A7               D
Since the childhood of our race;

D                    G
Known the ecstasy of winging

           A7                D
Through untraveled realms of space;

D
Probed the secrets of the atom,

                    G
Yielding unimagined pow'r,

       D                 G
Facing us with life's destruction

       A7              D
Or our most triumphant hour.
[Verse 4]
D                   G
As each far horizon beckons,

       A7           D
May it challenge us anew,

D                    G
Children of creative purpose,

        A7               D
Serving others, honoring you.

D
May our dreams prove rich with promise,

                      G
Each endeavor, well begun:

      D                G
Great Creator, give us guidance

         A7                  D
Till our goals and yours are one.
