The Battle Hymn of Those Who Create Peace

 

Mine eyes have seen the glory

Of the children of light

Thou has set a lamp before their feet

With a voice of thunder they speak

No dictator on earth can long survive

Who glances into their eyes 

Holy love shall triumph on earth

 

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!

Holy love shall triumph on earth

 

I have heard thy voice of silence

That the broken heart restores

You have ordered earth filled with justice

And that we smash the weapons of war

Through the power of our dreams

We shall create the means for peace 

Holy justice shall fill the earth

 

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!

Holy justice shall fill the earth

 

I have met the mermaid queens

In the sea and river streams

I have met thy holy angels

And thy hosts of divine beings

Let the children born of women

On earth accomplish thy will 

Divine Providence shall manifest on earth     

 

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!

Divine Providence shall manifest on earth

 

They have sounded forth the trumpet

That shall never call retreat 

They sit within the hearts of men

And all malice there defeat

Oh be swift my soul to answer

Oh be jubilant my feet

Then truth shall walk the earth 

 

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!

Then truth shall walk the earth

 

In the beauty of the lilies

Christ was born across the sea

With the mystery of love and peace

Hidden in you and me

As we die to our selfishness

May we embody the light he sees 

May the earth be filled with divine love 

 

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!

May the earth be filled with divine love 

 

Mine eyes have seen the glory

Of the children of light

Thou has set a lamp before their feet

With a voice of thunder they speak

No dictator on earth can long survive

Who glances into their eyes 

Holy love shall triumph on earth
