Oh day of peace that dearly shines Through all our hopes and prayers And dreams Guide us to justice, truth and love Delivered from our selfish schemes May swords of hate fall from our hands Our hearts from envy find release Till by God's grace our warring world Shall see Christ's promised reign of peace Then shall the world dwell with the Lamb Nor shall the fears devour the small As beast and cattle calmly graze A little Child shall lead them home Then the meek shall learn to love All creatures find their true accord The hope of peace shall be fulfilled For all the earth shall know the Lord
