A Prayer for Peace

1 Our Lord, you have blessed

your land

and made all go well

for Jacob's descendants.

2 You have forgiven the sin

and taken away the guilt

of your people.

8 I will listen to you, Lord God,

because you promise peace

to those

who are faithful

and no longer foolish.

9 You are ready to rescue

everyone who worships you,

so that you will live with us

in all of your glory.

10 Love and loyalty

will come together;

goodness and peace

will unite.

11 Loyalty will sprout

from the ground;

justice will look down

from the sky above.

12 Our Lord, you will bless us;

our land will produce

wonderful crops.

13 Justice will march in front,

making a path

for you to follow.
