511 ~ Gentle Peace, From Heaven Descended

1

Gentle Peace, from heaven descended, We would live beneath Thy law; Thou hast home and life befriended, Born of nobler deeds than war.

2

Thou hast thrown a smile of beauty O'er the meadow, hill, and grove; Thou hast quickened us to duty, Thou hast warmed our hearts to love.

3

Stay Thou with us, still replenish Fields with fruit, ourselves with love; Discord and dissension banish, Peaceful Spirit from above.
