FATHER OF MERCY, AUTHOR OF PEACE

AND WE SHALL STRIVE TO FOSTER PEACE

Bless'd are the peacemakers' says Lord
They shall be called the sons of God'
Lord here I am, myself I give
To be a symbol of your peace.

VERSE 2
WILL IT BRING PEACE TO THE NEXT MAN

AND CONTRIBUTE TO CHURCH UPLIFTMENT
IS IT CHRISTLIKE? I ASK YOU ALL
WE SHALL BE TRUE TO THIS TILL END.

We're guided by the 5 Way Test
To foster peace among all men
That God's peace we shall enjoy
In our Homes, Nation and the World.

And our Christ's peace also with you

WE'LL SHINE HIS LIGHT IN THIS DARK WORLD.

Chorus:
May evil never befall us
May joy triumph over sorrows
May we not fall to temptations
Evil eyes shall be far from us.
