The Son of God Goes Forth for Peace

Author: Ernest Bourner Allen Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1. The Son of God goes forth for Peace, Our Father's love to show; From war and woe He brings release, O, who with Him will go? He strikes the fetters from the slave, Man's mind and heart makes free; And sends His messengers to save O'er ev'ry land and sea! 2. The Son of God goes forth for Peace, That men like brothers live, And all desire the other's good, And other's sin forgive. He turns our spears to pruning hooks, Our swords to ploughshares warm, And war no more its death-blast brings, Nor men their brothers harm! 3. The Son of God goes forth for Peace, Nor lands nor pow'r to gain; He seeks to serve, to love, to lift,— Who follows in His train? A glorious band, in ev'ry age, In spite of scorn and pain, True sons of God, His peace have made; Who follows in their train? 4. Now let the world to Peace be won, And ev'ry hatred slain; Let force and greed be overcome And love supreme remain! Let justice rule in all the earth, And mercy while we live, Lest we—forgiven much—forget Our brother to forgive! 5. We send our love to ev'ry land— True neighbors would we be; And pray God's Peace to reign in them, Where'er their homeland be! O God, to us may grace be giv'n, Who bear the dear Christ's name, To live at peace with ev'ry man, And thus our Christ acclaim! Topics: World Friendship and Peace Used With Tune: ALL SAINTS

H. S. Cutler

1825 - 1902 Person Name: Henry S. Cutler, 1824-1902 Composer of "ALL SAINTS" in Christian Worship Henry Stephen Cutler (b. Boston, MA, 1824; d. Boston, 1902) studied music in Frankfurt, Germany, in 1844. He moved to England, where he listened with interest to the cathedral choirs and came under the influence of the Oxford Movement. Returning to Boston in 1846, Cutler became organist of the Episcopal Church of the Advent and formed a choir of men and boys, to whom he introduced the wearing of liturgical robes. When he took a position at Trinity Church in New York City, he removed women from the choir and used the occasion of a visit by the Prince of Wales to the church to introduce his newly vested men and boys' choir. He also moved the choir from the gallery to the chancel and initiated the chanting of the psalms and the singing of part of the worship service. Cutler compiled The Psalter, with Chants (1858) and published The Trinity Psalter (1864) and Trinity Anthems (1865). Bert Polman
