2 Thou hast the power of a Prince, Nay Peace thou canst command; O'er War thou hast preeminence, Canst stop it with thy hand.
2 Thou hast the power of a Prince, Nay Peace thou canst command; O're War thou hast preheminence, Canst stop it with thy hand.
3 If thou dost once but speak the word, Peace we shall have within; By thy own Spirit thou canst, Lord, Destroy each cursed sin.
4 Thou to our Souls sweet peace dost give, Thy Church has peace from thee; How happily do all such live Who filled with it be!
5 The Nations, Lord, will ne'er have peace Until thou dost appear; Thou wilt make Wars, O Lord to cease Far off, and also near.
5 The Nations, Lord, will ne're have peace Until thou dost appear; Thou wilt make Wars, O Lord to cease Far off, and also near.
