76 Jehovah, God of Peace
(Philippians 4:9)
Je - ho - vah, God of peace, God of love that will not cease.
This world seeks peace in vain. They have sown and reaped much pain.
Your spir - it aids our sight As your Word gives need - ed light.
Grant us peace - ful, calm con - di - tions, That good fruit - age may in - crease.
But up - on your fa - vored peo - ple, Peace de-scends like gen - tle rain.
We are guid - ed and pro - tect - ed In a world as dark as night.
Your coun - sel we have sought; With your Son our lives were bought.
As we dis - cern your will And our vows to you ful - fill,
May peace just like the dew Calm our thoughts, re - fresh us too,
May you grant us now your own peace That ex - cels all hu - man thought.
May you please now bless our ef - forts And more peace in us in - still.
That our hearts and men - tal pow - ers Might be safe by means of you.
