Tune: The Supreme Sacrifice
(\'O valiant hearts\')
*********
Annual remembrance, we recall again
All who in wars, all children, women, men
They took courage, though they in fearful straits
Then gave you thanks and praise when war abates
O grant us peace, deep in our hearts within
Christ is that peace, He cleanses us from sin
Makes peace \'tween God and man, too man and man
Bring prevailing peace as only He can
Here be thoughts sentiments, expressed in love
Come Holy Spirit, heal us, holy dove
From darkness, fear, the ravages of war
Bring in your kingdom\'s peace from shore to shore
For evil, conflict ne\'er has final word
For you e\'er remain, the Almighty Lord
Both generally and specifically
You work, though we finite, we not all see
Hearts sadnesses you know, Man of Sorrows
Holding to bitterness, it only grows
But forgive we pray, renew and restore
With you we desire that war be no more
