This vision of peace how old and how new! The greater our need, the clearer it grew. Yet side-by-side nations, drummed-up to resist, still glare across frontiers that cease to exist. This vision of peace is making us one; no longer we ask who lost and who won. Concern for each other is healing old wounds, for all is forgiven when goodwill abounds. This vision of peace is ours from above; it springs from the heart of a crucified love. Deride it, defeat it, it shames our despairs, how blest are peacemakers, God's Kingdom is theirs!
