LyicsThy 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!
Then peace returns with balmy wing;
Glad plenty laughs, the valleys sing;
Reviving commerce lifts her head,
And want and wo and hate have fled.
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!
