1 O God of love, O King of peace, 
make wars throughout the world to cease; 
the wrath of nations now restrain. 
Give peace, O God, give peace again! 
 
2 Remember, Lord, your works of old, 
the wonders that our parents told; 
remember not our sins' 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!
