He maketh wars to cease.
Psalm 46:9.
O God of love! O King of peace!
Make wars throughout the world to cease;
The wrath of sinful man restrain;
Give peace, O God! give peace again.
2 Remember, Lord! thy works of old,
The wonders that our father’s told,
Remember not our sins’ dark stain;
Give peace, O God! give peace again.
3 Whom shall we trust but thee, O Lord!
Where rest but on thy faithful word?
None ever called on thee in vain;
Give peace, O God! give peace again.
4 Where saints and angels dwell above,
All hearts are knit in holy love;
O bind us in that heavenly chain;
Give peace, O God! give peace again.
