Great God, whom heav'n, and earth, and sea. <br />With all their countless hosts, obey, <br />Upheld by whom the nations stand, <br />And empires fall at thy command: <br /> <br />Beneath thy long suspended ire <br />Let papal Antichrist expire; <br />Thy knowledge spread from sea to sea, <br />'Till every nation bows to thee. <br /> <br />Then shew thyself the prince of peace, <br />Make every hostile efforts cease: <br />All with thy sacred love inspire, <br />And burn their chariots in the fire. <br /> <br />In sunder break each warlike spear; <br />Let all the Saviour's liv'ry wear; <br />The universal Sabbath prove, <br />The utmost rest of Christian love! <br /> <br />The world shall then no discord know, <br />But hand in hand to Canaan go, <br />Jesus, the peaceful king, adore, <br />And learn the art of war no more.<br /><br />Augustus Montague Toplady<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/on-war/
