wild war music

another school days morning worship song
floats into memory from across the years.
 
o brother man hold to your heart your brother
where pity dwells the peace of God is there
to worship rightly is to love each other
each thought a hymn
each kindly deed
a prayer
 
follow with reverend steps the great example
of Him whose only work was doing good
so shall the whole world be the fathers temple
each loving life
a psalm
of gratitude
 
then shall all bondage cease
the stormy clangour of wild war music
o'er the earth shall cease
love shall tread out
the baleful fire
of anger
and in its ashes
plant the tree of peace !!
