A Prayer For Peace

Book_of_common_prayer_1552.jpg

Eternal God,

in whose perfect kingdom no sword is drawn

but the sword of righteousness,

no strength known

but the strength of love:

So mightily spread abroad your Spirit,

that all peoples may be gathered

under the banner of the Prince of Peace,

as children of one Father;

to whom be dominion and glory,

now and for ever.

Amen.
