Text:Praise for Deliverance and Peace

409. Praise for Deliverance and Peace

1 Peace! the welcome sound proclaim;
Dwell with rapture on the theme:
Loud, still louder swell the strain;
Peace of earth! good-will to men!

2 Breezes! whispering soft and low,
Gently murmur as ye blow,
Now, when war and discord cease,
Praises to the God of peace.

3 Ocean's billows far and wide,
Rolling in majestic pride!
Loud, still louder swell the strain:
Peace on earth! good-will to men!

4 Vocal songsters of the grove!
Sweetly chant in notes of love,
Now, when war and discord cease,
Praises to the God of peace.

5 Mortals, who these blessings feel!
Christians, who before him kneel!
Loud, still louder swell the strain:
Peace of earth, good-will to men!
