Te Deum
We thank Thee, O our God, for this Long fought-for, hoped-for, prayed-for peace; Thou dost cast down, and Thou upraise, Thy hand doth order all our ways. Lift all our hearts to nobler life, For ever freed from fear of strife; Let all men everywhere in Thee Possess their souls in liberty. Safe in Thy Love we leave our dead; Heal all the wounds that war has made. And help us to uproot each wrong, Which still among us waxeth strong. Break all the bars that hold apart All men of nobler mind and heart; Let all men find alone in Thee Their one and only sovereignty! TUNE--Old Hundredth.
