Lyics

THY footsteps, Lord, with joy we trace,

And mark the conquests of thy grace.

Complete the work thou hast begun,

And let thy will on earth be done.



O show thyself the Prince of peace;

Command the din of war to cease;

O bid contending nations rest,

And let thy love rule every breast.



Thou good and wise and righteous Lord,

All move subservient to thy word;

O soon let every nation prove

The perfect joy of Christian love.
