1 God of peace, in peace preserve us,
Hear us, merciful Lord God!
Let no lust for power swerve us
From the way our Master trod.
Guarded by thy mighty hand,
Safe and free our people stand.

2 God of love, if foemen face us
Armed with weapons forged in hate,
Let not pride nor greed debase us;
All our efforts consecrate
That the wrong shall be made right
In the Spirit, by thy might. A-men.

3 God of mercy, bid the terrors
Of inhuman strife to cease;
Overrule our grievous errors
By thy scepter, Prince of Peace.
Let thine angels speak again,
'Peace of earth, good will toward men.'

Amen.
