SPECIAL OCCASIONS |
Gentle Peace, from heaven descended,
We would live beneath Thy law; Thou hast home and life befriended, Born of nobler deeds than war.
Thou hast thrown a smile of beauty
O'er the meadow, hill, and grove; Thou hast quickened us to duty, Thou hast warmed our hearts to love.
Slay Thou with us, still replenish
Fields with fruit, ourselves with love; Discord and dissension banish, Peaceful Spirit from above.
Gentle Peace, from heaven descended, |
