When Shall War Cease?

"-saw^HF" " ^^^

WHEN SHALL WAR CEASE? Lo, countless prayers are sent unto the skies.

And wives and mothers shed their bitter tears. And famine stills the orphan's hunger cries; The hearts of age are broken in their fears; On field and meadow lie the thousands slain. And ancient cities pass awiy in flames, And need and beauty make their pleas in vain. For man's wild passion Christ's sweet message shames- Yea, in mad hatred millions draw their breath, The dead, unburied, float on mere and flood, And on the deep, men sink in ghastly death. And love is lost amid the seas of bbod: When comes Thy reign, O Christ; when will War cea e?c

Yet dark the Night, when comes the dawn of Peace!
