Tune: Duke Street
('Fight the good fight')
Adapted from 'Prayer for Peace'
by St Cyprian of Carthage, 210-258AD
**********
We beg, beseech of the God who
The enemies of the church do
Forever provoke, irritte
That He woudl tame their wild hearts state
May their rage subside, calm return
To their hearts, may their minds so turn
Clouded by dark that their sins make
May they repent, for comforts sake
And my they see the light, may they
Seek the bishop's prayers, and so say
We shall not his blood seek, for we
Turned from our persecuting be
