CHRIST THE CONSOLER by HENRY WILLIAMS BAKER

First Line: O GOD OF LOVE, O KING OF PEACE
Last Line: GIVE PEACE, O GOD, GIVE PEACE AGAIN!
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST;

O God of love, O King of peace,
Make wars throughout the world to cease:
The wrath of sinful man restrain,
Give peace, O God, give peace again!

Remember, Lord, Thy works of old,
The wonders that our fathers told;
Remember not our sin's dark stain,
Give peace, O God, give peace again!

Whom shall we trust but Thee, O Lord?
Where rest but on Thy faithful word?
None ever called on Thee in vain,
Give peace, O God, give peace again!

Where saints and angels dwell above,
All hearts are knit in holy love;
O bind us in that heavenly chain!
Give peace, O God, give peace again!
