PEACE GUARANTEED, by                    
First Line: Oh, nations, battle - scarred
Last Line: God's word does guarantee.
Subject(s): Nations; Peace


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.
