4 O, never falter! peace must come by pain;

Heaven is not found, but won;

Hold the dark angel till he moulds again

The peace he hath undone.

5 We know not, Lord, what storms and trials strong

Must work our world’s new birth;

But we will toil, with this for working-song,—

“Peace to the weary earth!”

6 Peace to the weary, struggling, sin-sick earth!

Peace to the heart of man!
