1 O God of love, O Power of peace,
make wars throughout the world to cease.
The wrath of human sin restrain--
give peace, O God, give peace again!

2 Whom shall we trust, O God, but you,
where rest but on your word so true?
None ever called on you in vain--
give peace, O God, give peace again!

3 Where saints and angels dwell above,
all hearts are joined in holy love.
O bind us in that heav'nly chain--
give peace, O God, give peace again!
