When Will People Cease Their Fighting?

Author: Constance Cherry Hymnal: The Presbyterian Hymnal #401 (1990) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 When will people cease their fighting? When will armies wage no war, Nations conquer not their neighbor, Weapons idle, used no more? When will guns and bombs be silent? When will captives be set free? All creation groans in longing For the world's true liberty. 2 Floods and earthquakes, drought and famine Plague the world with awesome ill, But far greater is war's horror Caused by human, stubborn will. Blest are those who, working, praying, Purpose in their hearts to be Instruments of peace, committed To the nations' harmony. 3 As we strive for peace with vigor, Hoping to be shown the way, We are strengthened in the knowledge Of a future, perfect day; For we know that deeper, richer Peace is ours when Christ shall reign: Then will all our swords be plowshares And God's children free from pain.
