Where hate and fear divide us and bitter threats are hurled, in love and mercy guide us, and heal our strife torn world. 2 From lust for wealth and power, from scorn for truth and right, from trust in bombs that shower destruction through the night, from pride of race and station and blindness to your way, deliver every nation. Eternal God, we pray. 3 Lord, strengthen those who labor that we may find release from fear of rattling saber, from dread of war's increase. When hope and courage falter, your still small voice be heard; with faith that none can alter, your servants undergird. 4 Keep bright in us the vision of days when war shall cease, when hatred and division give way to love and peace, till dawns the morning glorious when truth and justice reign, and Christ shall rule victorious o'er all the world's domain.
