O God of Love, O King of Peace

(HESPERUS. L. M.)

Henry W. Baker,, 1868

Henry W. Baker,, 1868

1. O God of love, O King of peace,
   Make wars through out the world to cease;
   The wrath of sin - ful man re - strain,
   Give peace, O God, give peace a - gain!
   
2. Re - mem - ber, Lord, thy works of old,
   The won - ders that our fa - thers told;
   Re - mem - ber not our sin's dark stain,
   Give peace, God, give peace a - gain!
   
3. Whom shall we trust but thee, O Lord?
   Where rest but on thy faith - ful word?
   None ev - er called on thee in vain,
   Give peace, O God, give peace a - gain!
   
4. Where saints and an-gels dwell a-bove,
   All hearts are knit in ho - ly love;
   bind us in that heaven - ly chain !
   Give peace, O God, give peace a - gain!
   A - men.
