“The Lord shall give His people the blessing of peace.”
By Rev. Sir Henry W. Baker, Bart.
O God of love, O King of peace,
Make wars throughout the world to cease;
The wrath of sinful man restrain,
Give peace, O God, give peace again.
Remember, Lord, Thy works of old,
The wonders that our fathers told;
Remember not our sins’ dark stain,
Give peace, O God, give peace again.
Whom shall we trust but Thee, O Lord?
Where rest but on Thy faithful Word?
None ever called on Time in vain,
Give peace, O God, give peace again.
Where saints and angels dwell above,
All hearts are knit in holy Jove;
Oh, bind us in that heavenly chain,
Give peace, O God, give peace again.
