SONGS OF WAR AND PEACE 179 |
||
|
Sing the antiphon of Peace; Chant the psalmody of Peace.
Oh, the sorrow and the glory, That the swelling anthem tells!
Battles won and war's red story, Roaring guns and ringing bells;
Tears that flow for heroes martyred, Winning Fame's unending lease;
Lives for country's honor bartered, And the blessed song of Peace And the joyous song of Peace. |

|
A SONG OF THANKSGIVING.
God of the nations; Lord of all;
Father of Love and Peace; With swelling hearts and singing souls,
And gratitude's increase, We, lovers of this blessed land,
Thank Thee, the only King To whom a freeman bends the knee,
And joyously we sing Thy praises, till Columbia's skies
With high hosannahs ring: The King! The King! Blest be the freeman's King! |
