O Day of Peace
[Verse 1]
O day of peace that dimly shines
Through all our hopes and prayers and dreams
Guide us to justice, truth and love
Delivered from our selfish schemes
[Verse 2]
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 promised reign of peace
[Verse 3]
Then shall the wolf dwell with the lamb
Nor shall the fierce devour the small
As beasts and cattle calmly graze
A little child shall lead them all
[Verse 4]
Then enemies 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
