The New Century Hymnal ‎#571

571. O God of Love, O God of Peace

1 O God of love, O God of peace,
make wars throughout the world to cease;
The wrath of sinful man restrain;
Give peace, O God, give peace again!

2 Remember, God, your works of old,
the wonders that our people told;
Heal every malice, harm, and pain:
Give peace, O God, give peace again!

3 Whom shall we trust, O God, but you?
For you are constant, strong, and true.
None ever called on you in vain;
Give peace, O God, give peace again!
