Anthem of Peace, An

Words and music by Robbie Smith

His Word and His Promise
Will carry us through these trials,
And His Love will shine down upon us –
To shorten the long, weary miles.

Heed not the war cry that rallies
The forces of “wrong” or of “right”;
There may yet be Peace in our valleys –
With the beacon of Truth burning bright –
Burning eternally bright…

Sing an Anthem of Peace
‘Til the battles all cease
And the suffering gives way to mirth;
Put an end to the greed
And attend to the needs of your children –
The ones who’ll inherit the earth.

Give one voice to your Anthem –
No matter what lies ahead;
You have seeds to sow – go and plant them,
‘Til all of your hungry are fed.

Have Faith, oh, my brothers –
Each Peacemaker shall be spared;
Spread your kindness now unto others –
A Blessing in turn to be shared –
A Blessing to always be shared…

Sing an Anthem of Peace
‘Til the battles all cease
And the suffering gives way to mirth;
Put an end to the greed
And attend to the needs of your children –
(Oo-oo-oo-ooh – of your children)
The ones who’ll inherit the earth.
