O God of love, O King of peace

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 deeds of old,
the wonders that our fathers told;
remember not our sin’s 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 one in holy love;
O, bind us with that heavenly chain:
give peace, O God, give peace again.
