O God of Love, True Source of Peace
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.
Remember, Lord, your works of old,
The wonders that our forebears told;
Remember not our sin's deep stain:
Give peace, O God, give peace again.
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.
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.
