1 O God of love, O King of peace, make wars throughout the world to cease; the wrath of nations now restrain, give peace, O God, give peace again!
2 Remember, Lord, thy works of old, the wonders that thy people told; remember not our sin's dark stain, give peace, O God, give peace again!
3 Whom shall we trust but thee, O Lord? Where rest but on thy faithful word? None ever called on thee in vain, give peace, O God, give peace again!
