The Hymnal for Boys and Girls ‎#74

74. God of the Nations, Near and Far

1 God of the nations, near and far,
Ruler of all mankind,
Bless thou thy people as they strive
The paths of peace to find.

2 O Father, from the curse of war
We pray thee give release,
And speed, O speed the blessed day
Of justice, love and peace.

Amen.
