¶Lyrics / Text

O Peace! on thine upsoaring pinion, Thro' the world onward flight taking, Teach the nations their turmoil forsaking, To seek thine eternal dominion. From the Infinite Father descending, O come with thine influence tender; And show us how duly to render, To Him our glad praise never ending, O Music! thy source too is holy, Thro' thy power ev'ry heart now uniting, Why thy magic each true soul delighting, Blessed bond 'twixt the high and the lowly, Thro' thee, the great Father adoring. Thy language is known to each nation, Thro' thee, the vast Hymn of Creation, From tongues without number outpouring, O Music! O Peace! Happy blending of voices and hearts, Of voices and hearts in sweet lays, In union, to God's holy praise, Ever thus your pure influence lending. Jehovah! thou Sov'reign of nations! Sweet Peace to our land thou hast granted, Be praises eternally chanted, In Music forevermore! Aye! forever more, In Music forevermore. Amen.
