Text: | O God of Love, O King of Peace |
Author: | Henry Williams Baker, 1821-77 |
Tune: | PAX |
1 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.
2 Remember, Lord, your works of old,
The wonders that our fathers told,
Remember not our sins' dark stain;
Give peace, O God, give peace again.
3 Whom shall we trust but you, O Lord?
Where rest but on your faithful Word?
None ever called on you in vain.
Give peace, O God, give peace again.
4 Where saints and angels dwell above,
All hearts are knit in holy love;
O bind us in that heavenly chain.
Give peace, O God, give peace again. Amen.
