The Church Hymnal ‎#199a

199a. O God of love, O King of peace

1 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, Thy works 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 Thee, O Lord?
Where rest but on Thy faithful word?
None ever called on Thee in vain;
Give peace, O God, give peace again!

4 Where saints and angels dwell above
All hearts are knit in holy love;
O bind us in that heavenly chain!
Give peace, O God, give peace again!

Amen.
