Mark Nevers - O Day of Peace lyrics

[Verse 1] O day of peace that dimly shines Through all our hopes and prayers and dreams Guide us to justice, truth and love Delivered from our selfish schemes [Verse 2] 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 promised reign of peace [Verse 3] Then shall the wolf dwell with the lamb Nor shall the fierce devour the small As beasts and cattle calmly graze A little child shall lead them all [Verse 4] Then enemies 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
