Author: Fred Kaan (b. 1929) Hymnal: Wonder, Love, and Praise #790 (1997) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Put peace into each other’s hands
and like a treasure hold it.
Protect it like a candle flame,
with tenderness enfold it.
2 Put peace into each other’s hands
with living expectation;
be gentle in your words and ways,
in touch with God’s creation.
3 Put peace into each other’s hands,
like bread we break for sharing;
look people warmly in the eye;
our life is meant for caring.
4 As at communion, shape your hands
into a waiting cradle;
the gift of Christ receive, revere,
united round the table.
5 Put Christ into each other’s hands,
he is love’s deepest measure;
in love make peace, give peace a chance
and share it like a treasure. Topics: Hymns and Spiritual Songs Unity Languages: English Tune Title: PETA
