Gentle Mother, font of mercy
Save our sons from war, we pray
Stay the swords and stay the arrows
Let them know a better day
Gentle Mother, strength of women
Help our daughters through this fray
Soothe the wrath and tame the fury
Teach us all a kinder way
Gentle Mother, font of mercy
Save our sons from war, we pray
Stay the swords and stay the arrows
Let them know a better day
