Text: | O God of love! O King of peace! |
Author: | Campbell |
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, thy 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 thee, O Lord?
Where rest but on thy faithful word?
None ever called on thee in vain:
Give peace, O God! give peace again.
4 Where saints and angels dwell above,
All hearts are knit in holy love;
Oh, bind us in that heavenly chain:
Give peace, O God! give peace again.
