But the spirit liveth ever,

And all the good and ill we do

Reflect sunshine or cast shadows

O’er life’s flowers so good and true.

OH POWERFUL BUT PEACEFUL WEAPON. PRAYER.

The sword that conquered Greece and Rome,

And brought to Christ’s most sacred feet,

The pagan of the ancient world,

Was pray’r, yes pray’r with wings so fleet.

So raise your hearts, heav’n storm with prayer,

In supplication bend the knee,

Be not afraid, do not despair,

For pray’r is heaven’s golden key.

While war is waged relentlessly,

For honor, justice, love to all,

Prayer’s influence for world wide peace,

Through divine justice cannot fall.
