Laudes Domini ‎#688

688. "Give us thy peace"

1 Lord of mercy and of might,
God and Father of us all,
Lord of day, and Lord of night,
Listen to our solemn call:
Listen, whilst to thee we raise
Songs of prayer and songs of praise.

2 Shed within our hearts, oh, shed
Thine own Spirit’s living flame--
Love for all whom thou hast made,
Love for all who love thy name:
Young and old together bless,
Clothe our souls with righteousness.

3 Father, give to us thy peace:
May our life on earth be blest;
When our trials here shall cease,
May we enter into rest,--
Rest within our home above,
Thee to praise, and thee to love.
