A Prayer for Peace
words and music by Noël Goemanne
1. We, the children of all nations, gather here to pray for peace.
We, the children of all peoples, pray that war and hatred cease.
For the leaders of all nations, we are praying God today.
May all people searching for freedom find that God is the only Way.
2. We are children of the Space Age, praying for God's guiding light.
We are children facing destruction by the powers of wordly might.
To the leaders of all nations: may we beg you, hear our plea.
We are leaders for a tomorrow, give us hope, this tomorrow to see.
3. Hear the cry of hungry children; sick and dying, not so far.
Let us humbly follow the wisdom of the Child born under the Star.
May we always learn the lessons He taught us, while on earth He showed the way:
Be forgiving, love each other, and tomorrow will be a today.
4. We, the children of all nations want to live in harmony
With the children of all people, now and for Eternity.
We will always be God's children, black or white or small or tall.
Let us always help each other; may our God protect us all.
