Prayer for general peace.

THY footsteps, Lord, with joy we trace, And mark the conquests of thy grace; Complete the work thou hast begun, And let thy will on earth be done.

Oh, show thyself the Prince of Peace, Command the din of war to cease; Oh, bid contending nations rest, And love pervade each human breast,

Then peace shall lift her balmy wing, Glad plenty laugh, the valleys sing; Reviving commerce lift her head, And want, and woe, and hate be fled.

Thou good, and wise, and righteous Lord; All move subservient to thy word; Oh, soon let ev'ry nation prove The perfect joy of Christian love.
