PRAYER FOR
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.
Lord Jesus speed the promised day,
When love shall hold unbounded reign,
And union sheathe the flaming sword.
That hangs o'er desolation's plain.
Ah! come, ye happy moments, come,
When the whole earth shall own one Lord,
And thou the prince, the King of peace,
In peace, forever be adored.
