Great God, bring peace we pray,
To men in wars array,

May they with one accord,
Now fill their hearts, o, Lord,
With thoughts from Thine own

And feel it's poW'r.

To praise and humbly bow, !.
Before Thy throne.
Thy love to us instill;
Open our souls until
We love Thy holy will
More than our own.
"Send now, in mercy mild,
Strength that each suffering child
May bear his pain.
Let him thus learn of Thee,
Each lesson patiently
Till Thou dost set him free,
In health again.
Pardon what we have done
To wound Thy bruised son.
Grant us Thy peace.
Guard US from day to day:
Walk with US all the way
Till, from this earthly clay
