GRACIOUS God, to Thee we raise,
Our heart and voice in grateful praise;
We thank Thee that the fighting's o'er,
That gun and shell are feared no more.
We ask a blessing on the men,
Returning to their home again;
May many hearts be drawn to Thee,
And peace and rest their portion be.
Lord Jesus! Thou the peace hast made,
Whereby poor sinners can be saved;
'Tis through Thy precious blood alone,
That peace can come to anyone.
We ask Thee, then, O blessed Lord,
While peace is to the earth restored;
That weary, restless hearts may know,
That saving peace Thou lost bestow.
