Great God, whose will is peace for all the earth, / Sung forth in joy at Christ our Savior’s birth, / Now we too sing the news with sparkling mirth. // Turn us around to paths of love and peace, / Reshape our minds that petty strife may cease. / And songs will soar and harmony increase. // Destroy our trust in weapon, bomb and sword, / Renew our faith in tools of true accord. / Call us again to Christ, our living Lord. // Peacemakers! Blessed by Christ’s inviting word, / Children of God, let everywhere be heard / The sounds of peace and justice not deferred. // Almighty One, your way is our shalom. / trusting your light, we pilgrim people roam. / Bring us, at last, to our eternal home. / Amen.
Jane Parker Huber, Indiana 1987
