O God of love, O King of peace, Make wars throughout the world to cease (hymn)

511 Theodore. L. M.

1 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 fathers told,
   Remember not our sin's 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.
