PRAYER FOR DISARMAMENT, by                    
First Line: Again they make a pilgrimage for peace
Last Line: "and whispers: ""peace on earth, good will to men."
Subject(s): Disarmament; Prayer


Again they make a pilgrimage for peace --
Those who have known and felt the pangs of strife --
Hoping to outlaw Mars, war plans to cease,
And place a worth-while price on human life.

As Wise Men came two thousand years before
To see the Christ Child laid in Bethlehem's stall,
And angel's voice turned them from Herod's door,
Making all nations know, "Good Will To All";

So now, we pray that selfsame voice to guide
These men, that ancient joy be known again.
For God lives on, is ever by our side,
And whispers: "Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men."
