[Chorus] 3 No more will angry nations in deadly conflict meet, While children cry and parents die in conquest or defeat, For Jesus Christ the Captain, Will give the battle cry, The Holy Ghost will lead the host to victory by and by. [Chorus] 4 No more shall lords and rulers their helpless victims press, And bar the door against the poor and leave them in distress, But God, the King of Glory, Who hears the ravens cry, Will give command that every man have plenty by and by.
