Let There Be Light, Lord God of Hosts
Author: William Merrill Vories Hymnal: The Hymnbook #480 (1955) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Peace on Earth Lyrics: 1 Let there be light, Lord God of Hosts,
Let there be wisdom on the earth;
Let broad humanity have birth,
Let there be deeds, instead of boasts.
2 Within our passioned hearts instill
The calm that endeth strain and strife;
Make us Thy ministers of life;
Purge us from lusts that curse and kill.
3 Give us the peace of vision clear
To see our brothers' good our own,
To joy and suffer not alone—
The love that casteth out all fear.
4 Let woe and waste of warfare cease,
That useful labor yet may build
Its homes with love and laughter filled;
God, give Thy wayward children peace.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 46:9 Tune Title: PENTECOST

of every race and land,
redeem the whole creation
with your almighty hand;
where hate and fear divide us
and bitter threats are hurled,
in love and mercy guide us
and heal our strife-torn world.
2 From search for wealth and power
and scorn of truth and right,
from trust in bombs that shower
destruction through the night,
from pride of race and nation
and blindness to your way,
deliver every nation,
eternal God, we pray.
3 Keep bright in us the vision
of days when war shall cease,
when hatred and division
give way to love and peace,
till dawns the morning glorious
when truth and justice reign
and Christ shall rule victorious
o'er all the world's domain. Languages: English Tune Title: NYLAND

Peace Comes Crying (A Lament)
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: New Hymns of Hope #187 Meter: 7.5.7.5 D Topics: Peace on Earth First Line: Peace comes crying through the world Lyrics: 1 Peace comes crying through the world,
crying for her life,
gunfire shatters silent skies,
powers plot her grief;
childrens' children march to war,
wear the badge of death -
peace comes crying through the world,
crying for her life.
2 Violence is all we know,
all we see and hear,
terror strikes and stains the earth
hand in hand with fear,
children cradled as they die,
bloodied face of war,
violence is all we know
all we see and hear.
3 Let your passion pierce our hearts,
halt us in this storm,
God whose weaponry is love,
arms that will disarm!
Never let the evil win,
drag us to its norm,
let your passion pierce our hearts,
halt us in this storm!
4 Peace comes calling at our door,
justice is her claim,
When the fruits of peace are shared,
hope and history rhyme;
never let this hope be lost!
Hell has had its time;
peace comes calling at our door,
justice is her claim.
Scripture: Luke 19:41-42 Languages: English Tune Title: ROMATA

The cause of truth maintain;
And wide o'er all the peopled world
Extend her blessed reign.
2 Thou Prince of Life, arise,
Nor let Thy conquests cease;
Far spread the glory of Thy name,
And bless the earth with peace.
3 Thou, Holy Ghost, arise,
Expand Thy quickening power,
And o'er a dark and ruined world
Thy light and peace outpour.
4 All men on earth, arise,
To God the Saviour sing;
From shore to shore, from earth to heaven,
Let His high praises ring.
Amen.

Eternal God, Whose Power Upholds
Author: Henry Hallam Tweedy Hymnal: The Hymnbook #485 (1955) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Peace on Earth; Kingdom of God on Earth, The World Friendship and Peace Lyrics: 1 Eternal God, whose power upholds
Both flower and flaming star,
To whom there is no here nor there,
No time, no near nor far,
No alien race, no foreign shore,
No child unsought, unknown:
O send us forth, Thy prophets true,
To make all lands Thine own!
2 O God of love, whose spirit wakes
In every human breast,
Whom love, and love alone, can know,
In whom all hearts find rest:
Help us to spread Thy gracious reign
Till greed and hate shall cease,
And kindness dwell in human hearts,
And all the earth find peace!
3 O God of truth, whom science seeks
And reverent souls adore,
Who lightest every earnest mind
Of every clime and shore:
Dispel the gloom of error's night,
Of ignorance and fear,
Until true wisdom from above
Shall make life's pathway clear!
4 O God of beauty, oft revealed
In dreams of human art,
In speech that flows to melody,
In holiness of heart:
Teach us to ban all ugliness
That blinds our eyes to Thee,
Till all shall know the loveliness
Of lives made fair and free!
5 O God of righteousness and grace,
Seen in the Christ, Thy Son,
Whose life and death reveal Thy face,
By whom Thy will was done:
Inspire Thy heralds of good news
To live Thy life divine,
Till Christ is formed in all mankind
And every land is Thine!
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 11:9 Tune Title: FOREST GREEN

Author: Henry Williams Baker Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #577 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Peace On Earth Lyrics: 1 O God of love, O King of Peace,
Make wars throughout the world to cease;
The wrath of sinful man restrain;
Give peace, O God, give peace again.
2 Remember, Lord, Thy works of old,
The wonders that Thy people told;
Remember not our sins' dark stain;
Give peace, O God, give peace again.
3 Whom shall we trust but Thee, O Lord?
Where rest but on Thy faithful Word?
None ever called on Thee in vain;
Give peace, O God, give peace again.
4 Where saints and angels dwell above,
All hearts are knit in holy love;
O bind us in that heavenly chain;
Give peace, O God, give peace again.
Amen.

O Day of Peace That Dimly Shines
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #711 (1995) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Peace on Earth Lyrics: 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.
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's promised reign of peace.
2 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. Scripture: Isaiah 11:6-9 Languages: English Tune Title: CANDLER
