O Lord we look upon the past
Rememb’ring those who went before
Who heard the call and bore for us
The brutal bloody face of war
We think of them and think of you
Who came to earth as one of us
To share our pain and bear our wounds
And make the final sacrifice
Verse 2
O Lord we look around today
And see a world in conflict still
We pray for those who strive for peace
Who stand for truth or lives rebuild
We weep with those whose hearts are scarred
Whose way is hard whose hope is weak
To refugees whose homes are lost
God of all comfort comfort speak
Verse 3
O Lord we look ahead in hope
To see the dawning of the day
When swords are beaten into ploughs
And every tear is wiped away
When wounds are healed and fear dispelled
And all who trust in you arise
When Christ the Prince of Peace has come
And glory glory fills the skies
Ending
When wounds are healed and fear dispelled
And all who trust in you arise
When Christ the Prince of Peace has come
And glory glory fills the skies
