Oh, Nations, battle-scarred, And sin-sick, fear-debarred From love of mutual gain, Shall error ever reign? That peace you now may see, Have you a guarantee? Oh, rulers, God-picked men, War must not come again! Peace in the land will come If man is not too dumb. That peace you now may see Can God not guarantee? My Sabbath you shall keep, What day is not too deep; God's words distinctly say The seventh is His day. That peace you then will see God's word does guarantee. Oh, World, disband your arms. Go home and till your farms. For rain in season due And peace, God offers you. His peace you then will see, Which God does guarantee. Oh, peoples of the earth, Let Truth reveal its worth. Raise Truth for all to see, For it will make you free. Then peace you soon will see God's Word does guarantee. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HER EYES TWIN POOLS by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON A CORN SONG by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR GO DOWN DEATH; A FUNERAL SERMON by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON PENITENTIAL PSALM: 130.
