Lyics

O God of love! O King of peace!

Make wars throughout the world to cease;

The wrath of sinful man restrain;

Give peace, O God! give peace again.



Remember, Lord! thy works of old,

The wonders that our father's told,

Remember not our sins' dark stain;

Give peace, O God! give peace again.



Whom shall we trust but thee, O Lord!

Where rest but on thy faithful word?

None ever called on thee in vain;

Give peace, O God! give peace again.



Where saints and angels dwell above,

All hearts are knit in holy love;

O bind us in that heavenly chain;

Give peace, O God! give peace again.
