“Peace, gentle peace”
Peace, gentle Peace, who, smiling through thy tears,
Returnest, when the sounds of war are dumb …
Replenishing the bruised and broken earth,
And lifting motherly her shattered form,
When comest thou, Our brethren, long for thee
Thou dost restore the darken’d light of home,
Give back the father to his children’s arms
Thou driest tenderly the mourner’s tears,
And all thy face is lit with holy light
Our earth is fain for thee! Return and come.
