Make wars throughout the world to cease;
Our greed and sinful wrath restrain --
Give peace, O God, give peace again.
2 Remember, Lord, your works of old,
The wonders that our elders told;
Remember not our sins' dark stain --
Give peace, O God, give peace again.
3 Whom shall we trust but you, O Lord?
Where rest but on your faithful Word?
None ever called on you in vain --
Give peace, O God, give peace again.
4 Where saints and angels dwell above,
All hearts are knit in holy love;
Oh, bind us in that heav'nly chain --
Give peace, O God, give peace again. Topics: Social Concern; Social Concern Used With Tune: ST. LUKE
