1. Jehovah, God of peace
God of love that will not cease
Grant us peaceful, calm conditions
That good fruitage may increase
Your counsel we have sought;
With your Son our lives were bought
May you grant us now your own peace
That excels all human thought

2. This world seeks peace in vain
They have sown and reaped much pain
But upon your favored people
Peace descends like gentle rain
As we discern your will
And our vows to you fulfill
May you please now bless our efforts
And more peace in us instill

3. Your spirit aids our sight
As your Word gives needed light
We are guided and protected
In a world as dark as night
May peace just like the dew
Calm our thoughts, refresh us too
That our hearts and mental powers
Might be safe by means of you
