No war nor battle's sound

Author: Dwight Appears in 59 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation At Peace Lyrics: 1 No war nor battle's sound Was heard the earth around-- No hostile chiefs to furious combat ran; But peaceful was the night In which the Prince of Light His reign of peace upon the earth began. 2 No conqueror's sword he bore, Nor warlike armor wore, Nor haughty passions roused to contest wild; In peace and love he came, And gentle was the reign Which o'er the earth he spread by influence mild. 3 Unwilling kings obeyed, And sheathed the battle-blade, And called their bloody legions from the field; In silent awe they wait, And close the warrior's gate, Nor know to whom their homage thus they yield. 4 The peaceful Conqueror goes, And triumphs o'er his foes, His weapons drawn from armories above; Behold the vanquished sit Submissive at his feet, And strike and hate are changed to peace and love.
