1 O God of love, true source of peace,
make wars throughout the world to cease;
the wrath of sinful hearts restrain;
give peace, O God, give peace again.
2 Remember, Lord, your works of old,
the wonders that our forebears told;
remember not our sins' deep stain:
give peace, O God, give peace again.
3 Whom shall we trust but you, O God?
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 knit in holy love;
oh bind us in that heavenly chain:
give peace, O God, give peace again.
