Da pacem Domine

Give peace in these our daies O Lord,
Great dangers are now at hand:
Thine enemies with one accord,
Christs name in every land,
Seek to deface, root out and race
Thy true right worship indeed:
Be thou our stay,
Lord we thee pray,
Thou helpst alone in all need.

Give us that peace that we do lack
Through misbeleefe and ill life:
Thy Word to offer thou dost not slack
Which we unkindly gain-strive,
With fire and sword,
This helathfull word,
Some persecute and oppresse,
Soone with the mouth
Confesse the truth,
Without sincere godlinesse.

Give peace, and us thy Spirit down send
With griefe and repentance true,
Pierce thou our hearts, our lives amend,
And by fiath in Christ renew.
That feare and dread
Warre and bloud-shed,
Through thy sweet mercy and grace,
May from us slide,
Thy truth may bide,
And shine in every palce.
