Behold a Broken World

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 2:1-4 Lyrics: 1 Behold a broken world, we pray, where want and war increase, and grant us, Lord, in this our day, the ancient dream of peace: 2 A dream of swords to sickles bent, of spears to scythe and spade, the weapons of our warfare spent, a world of peace remade; 3 Where every battle flag is furled and every trumpet stilled, where wars shall cease in all the world, a waking dream fulfilled. 4 No force of arms shall there prevail nor justice cease its sway; nor shall their loftiest visions fail the dreamers of the day. 5 O Prince of Peace, who died to save, a lost world to redeem, and rose in triumph from the grave, behold our waking dream. 6 Bring, Lord, your better world to birth, your kingdom, love's domain, where peace with God, and peace on earth, and peace eternal reign.
