Lyrics to "One World Built on a Firm Foundation"?

[avern]

My father remembers singing a song with his high school choir in the late 1940's. He recalls quite a bit of the song, but cannot remember some of the words. I have looked and looked, but cannot find it.

"One world built on a firm foundation,
A firm foundation of peace."

I would appreciate help in locating these lyrics. Also, if you come across a video or audio clip, I would like that as well.

Thanks, as always, for your help.

Hi avern
Is this it?
One World

One world built on a firm foundation
Built on a firm foundation of peace
What a wondrous sight, freedoms flame alight>br> In a world where war shall cease
One world built on love and peace

When God smiled, bright sunlight flooded hills and planes
Songbirds filled green valleys with their glad refrains
All things God created, His great love to share
Now let men and nations join and shout it everywhere!

One world built on a firm foundation
One world no longer cursed by war
Let no mortal man change the master plan
One great world at peace once more

One world....one world....one world, at peace forever more! jeanyb

Thank you, Jean.
That is it.

I would still like to find a video or audio clip.

I sang it back in the 1940s.
Here's how I remember it began.
I don't recall the rest of the words.
--------------
One world built on firm foundation,
built on a firm foundation of peace.
What a wondrous sight, freedom's holy light,
in a world where wars shall cease.
One world built on love and peace,
one world built on love and peace,
forever more, forever more.

ONE WORLD (lyrics)

Choir sings the following:
One World, built on a firm foundation.
One World, no longer cursed by war.
Let, no mortal man, change the Master’s Plan.
One great world, at peace, once more,
One World, One World,
One World, at peace forever more.

Soloist Sings:
When God smiled bright, sunlight, flooded hills, and plains.
Songbirds, filled green valleys, with their glad refrains.
All things God created, His great love to share.
Now, let men, and nations join, and shout it everywhere!
(Echoed Full by Choir)
Shout It Everywhere!!

Now Choir and Soloist sing together:
One World, built on a firm foundation.
One World, no longer cursed by war.
Let, no mortal man, change the Master’s Plan.
One great world, at peace, once more,
One World, One World,
One World, at peace forever more.

Our Robed Choir at Dixon High School, Dixon Illinois sang this song in 1963. I was choosen to be the soloist, for the song. Find me on Facebook.

One world built on a firm foundation
One world no longer cursed by war
Let no mortal man change the Masters Plan
One great world at peace once more
One World, One World
One World at peace forever more
When God smiled bright sunlight
Flooded hills and plains
Songbirds filled green valley
With their glad refrain
All things God created His great Love to share
Now let men and nations join and shout it everywhere
Shout it everywhere
One World built on a firm foundation
One World no longer cursed by war
Let no mortal man Change the masters plan
One great world at peace once more
One World, One World
One World at peace forever more
