Author: Tom Colvin Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Should we accept that evil means
will evil powers deter?
Should we believe the howls of hate
that cloud our lives with fear?
2 Enfold us in your love, Yesu,
and we shall be secure,
for we shall love our foes as friends
and fear shall be no more.
3 Your perfect love, which drives out fear
will all our lives control;
in every deed and word we shall
fulfill our servant-role.
4 To live by love shall be our aim;
peace shall be ours to share.
Our openness, our joy, our faith
will show whose friends we are.
5 Love is the Way among us here
through Christ the source of Peace.
Let reconciling love in us
now cause the wars to cease.
