PRAYER FOR PEACE:
O HASTE the time, thou Prince of Peace,
When War no more shall lift the shield!
But wrath, and strife and lust of spoil
To thee their sanguine trophies yield.
Repress the horrid waste of life.
Destroy the warrior's trade in blood:
And say to all the tribes of earth,
Be still, and know that I am God.
For Jesus speed the promis'd day,
When love shall hold unbounded reign,
And union sheath the flaming sword,
That hangs o'er Desolation's plain.
Ah! come, ye happy moments, come,
When the whole earth shall own the Lord;
And thou the Prince, the King of Peace,
In peace forever be ador'd.
E. B.
