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
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
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
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
