Josh Garrels O Day of Peace song lyrics

Oh day of peace that dearly 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

Then shall the world dwell with the Lamb

Nor shall the fears devour the small

As beast and cattle calmly graze

A little Child shall lead them home

Then the meek 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
