Grant Thou, o God, to give US peace
From German shot and shell,
And fortitude to bear the loss
OF those we loved so well.
For Thee and all mankind we fight;
Then in this hour of need,
Grant thou to us the power and
might
To quell the German greed
For gold and conquest they defy
The laws of heaven and earth;
They smite the hope-peace anu
good will,
That came with Thy Sons birth.
No crime is meath their fiendish
hearts,
No blood they dare not shed;
They look not to Mount Calvary's
cross,
But to their Empires head.
Then grant, o God, recompense;
Smite Thou the German creed,
And make the hope of peace on
earth
Not born to die nor bleed.
Make Thou peace. that Freedoms
praise
Unto the end of time
Shall be immune from fear aud
dread
OF wars barbaric crime.
Now grant, o God. that we may
look
Back to Mount Calvary's cross,
And let the spirit of Thy Son
Be not to men or dross.
Grant Thou, o God, listening ear
Unto this prayer, and then
Our gratitude no bounds, shall
