Joseph Dos Santos
PEACE IN OUR HEARTS
No one can yet give
What truly he hath not
And so we pray to live
With chief among our lot:
Peace in our hearts.
.............................
We pray for every marriage
Beginning now to crack
For they need just a carriage
The thing which they most lack:
Peace in their hearts.
.............................
For nations all at war
Over whatever cause
Detente will you sure score
If you will each nurse:
Peace in your hearts.
.............................
Our praying rings on too
For politics in the Church
We would be less blue
It we had rather than lurch:
Peace in all hearts
.............................
O LORD it is our submission
That world peace oft dreamed of
Will turn a sold vision
If You Grant O Perfect Love:
Peace in our hearts.
