Verse 1
O God of love, O King of peace, Make wars throughout the world to cease; Our greed and violent ways restrain. Give peace, O God, give peace again.

Remember, Lord, your works of old, The wonders that your people told; Remember not our sins' deep stain. Give peace, O God, give peace again.
Verse 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.
Verse 4
Where saints and angels dwell above All hearts are joined in holy love; Oh, bind us in that heav'nly chain. Give peace, O God, give peace again.
